This national bestseller follows Rachel Simmons as she traveled all over the country speaking to young girls to older ones, parents, and teachers about the agression hidden in girls. Read real life stories of girls who have been tortured in endless ways, emotional violence that has gone excused in schools all over the country and the definitions of populartiy and the inner working of cliques. This book really touches deep into the subtle ways in which girls can express anger and compeltely change a person, or ruin their life. IF you have ever had any sort of experience with female bullying, this book is for you. Even if you haven't, read it with your mothers or daughters. Tis book is "Passionate and beautifully written".

A discussion of the hidden culture of girl's aggression in our schools that is as widespread as it is painful. This book teaches parents, teachers, coaches and counselors how to help our daughters learn to cope. Some of the topics include: the subtle ways in which girls express anger; definitions of popularity and the inner workings of cliques; bullying across racial and socioeconomic lines; hidden jealousies, competition, and emotional abuse among close friends; and school attitudes towards girl bullying.
