This book was an interesting read, but I read it as a teenager and it would have been much more helpful and enlightening for a parent of a teenage girl.

some pink highlighting

"this book seeks to find answers to why adolescent girls fall prey to depression, eating disorders and suicde attempts-suggesting the answer is in our looks obsessed, sexity, girl posioning culture. Despite advances, girls continue to struggle to find their true selves"
