Rachel Simmons - The Curse Of The Good Girl

In her latest study of adolescent girls, Simmons, founder of the Girls Leadership Institute and author of Odd Girl Out, argues that girls are more concerned with being liked than with being themselves. By struggling to conform to the unrealistic image of an always congenial, obedient, and unobtrusive person, many girls fail to communicate their real needs and grow up unhappy and poorly adjusted. Simmons offers exercises and other tools parents can use to help their daughters gain confidence.
