Many lose spark, interest, and even IQ points as a "girl-poisoning" society forces a choice between being shunned for staying true to oneself and struggling to stay within a narrow definition of female. Pipher's alarming tales of a generation swamped by pain may be partly informed by her role as a therapist who sees troubled children and teens, but her sketch of a tougher, more menacing world for girls often hits the mark. She offers some prescriptions for changing society and helping girls resist. 39005 1994 Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls total:4463|5:1041|4:1797|3:1254|2:304|1:67| 4463 16830 5731 532 1 6 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Tue Nov 13 22:44:11 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 13 22:44:11 -0800 2007
