See Jane Win for Girls: A Smart Girl's Guide to Success
In the 1990s, child psychologist Sylvia Rimm and her daughters—Sara, a research psychologist, and Ilonna, a pediatric oncology researcher—surveyed more than 1,000 satisfied, successful women. Their goal was to “identify the essential childhood elements that encouraged these women to achieve fulfilling careers” so other parents could give their daughters the same advantages. Their results and advice were published in See Jane Win® , which became a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller. See Jane Win® teaches parents how to help their daughters. See Jane Win® for Girls teaches daughters how to help themselves. Dr. Rimm gives girls the “I Can” tips and tools they need to be confident, capable, eager to learn, and ready to lead.

Hope this book delivers as the first one did years ago-I read the original Rimm report on "See Jane Win"- so true - they captured beautifully what is was like being raised by my dad and mom to be strong, assertive, and aggressive when needed, competitive, incredibly loving and feminine. The price though is it is lonely as an adult woman often enough because most women peers and even girls nowadays aren't really raised this way at all - not when you really get down to it - But I believe we can shape this one step at a time, bringing all the femininity to the table along with being competitive, fierce, and resolute-
