'A vital work for parents and teachers of teenagers'. -- Jenni
Murray * Observer, Books of the Year *
"Sex and teenagers have always gone together, but parents reading
Orenstein's frank exploration of current trends may still be in for
a shock... This isn't a comfortable book to read (Orenstein herself
admits twinges a few times), but it's an important one." --
Booklist
"Fascinating... A wise and sharply argued look at how girls are
navigating the complicated new landscape of sex and sexuality." *
Economist *
"I'm not going to tell you to go right now and buy a copy.... I'm
going to tell you to buy two copies: One for yourself, and one for
the teenager in your life." -- Mary Elizabeth Williams,
Salon
"Thought-provoking... Girls & Sex is full of thoughtful concern and
empathetic questions." -- Cindi Leive, New York Times Book Review
