Reviving Ophelia : an eye-opening look at the everyday dangers of being young and female and how adults can help

Pipher believes adolescence is a precarious time for girls, when the fearless, outgoing child is replaced by an unhappy, insecure teenager and that the look-obsessed, media saturated culture, and not parents, is to blame. This book offers parents compassion, strength and strategies with which to revive the lost sense felt by adolescent girls.
