"The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation."

| |  | | | In Brief
"The authors and their team of researchers talked to a hundred students at an all-girls school in Cleveland over a period of five years and found that from the time a girl is seven until . . . her pre-adolescent years, she expertly teaches herself how not to speak her mind, and to sacrifice tangible, meaningful 'relationship' to others for facile, far less meaningful 'relationships' with teachers, parents, friends, {and} boyfriends. . . . She learns . . . that being a good girl is infinitely more desirable than speaking out. And {the authors argue} in the process of internalizing all this information, she comes perilously close to forgetting who she is." (San Francisco Rev Books) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
"Should sound a national alert to society that even our most privileged girls still pursue normal femininity at great risk to personal and civic health."
THE BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE
Lyn Mike Brown and Carol Gilligan ask "What, on the way to womanhood, does a girl give up?" One hundred girls gave voice to what is rarely spoken and often ignored: that the passage out of girlhood is a journey into silence and disconnection, a troubled crossing when a girl loses a firm sense of self and becomes tentative and unsure. These changes mark the endge of adolescence as a watershed in women's psychological development and the stories the girls tell are by turns heartrending and courageous. Listening to these girls provides us with the means of reaching out to them at this critical time, and of better understanding what we as women and men may have left behind at our own crossroads.
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR
| | | | Annotation
A groundbreaking work offering major new insights into girls' development and women's psychology. Just as important, this book provides women with the means of meeting girls at the critical crossroads of adolescence, of harkening to the voices of girlhood and sustaining their self-affirming notes.
