"This important book should be read by parents raising
children of all ages and of both sexes." -- New York
Times Book Review.
"This book is to young girls what Black Beauty is to
horses, what Upton Sinclair's The Jungle was to
the processing of meat. To read School Girls
is to remember -- how reluctantly! -- what it means to
be a girl in junior high." -- Carolyn See, Washington
Post Book World.
"Orenstein's study should be required reading for all
American teachers. And students. And everyone else.
[grade] A." -- Entertainment Weekly.
"School Girls is a fascinating book. Hopefully it will
be read by the right people -- parents and educators who
could change the experience of young girls in the
future." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review.
"School Girls cautions those of us who educate and mold
young people to wake up and see the social and
intellectual consequences of simply letting 'girls be
girls' and boys be boys.'" -- New York Newsday.
