The image of girls and girlhood that is being packaged and sold to your daughter isnt pretty in pink. Its stereotypical, demeaning, limiting, and alarming. Girl Power has been co-opted by marketers of music, fashion, books, and television to mean the power to shop and attract boys. Girls are besieged by images in the media that encourage accessorizing over academics; sex appeal over sports; fashion over friends. Packaging Girlhood exposes these stereotypes and the very limited choices presented of who girls are and what they can be. Lamb and Brown give parents guidance on how to talk with their daughters about these negative images and aid them with tools on how to help girls make more positive choices about the way they are in the world. In the tradition of books like Reviving Ophelia, Odd Girl Out, and Queen Bees and Wannabees that examine the world of girls, this book promises to not only spark debate but help parents to empower their daughters. 90186 2006 Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters from Marketers' Schemes total:122|5:16|4:39|3:44|2:20|1:3| 122 411 279 35 2 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 12 06:26:12 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 06:43:11 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 07:50:54 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 07:51:19 -0800 2009
