“Mackoff’s strategies for enhancing girls’ self-esteem and
creating equal opportunity are clear, practical, and most
important, achievable.”—Peggy Orenstein, author of School Girls:
Young Women, Self-Esteem, and the Confidence Gap
“IS THAT YOUR DAUGHTER? ISN’T SHE PRETTY?”
Like parents of girls everywhere, psychologist Barbara Mackoff
often heard her young daughter Hannah dismissed with those words.
So often that she started to reply: “And she’s smart too.” Hoping
to counter the culture that she feared would stereotype her
daughter and diminish her confidence, Dr. Mackoff spent three years
searching for strategies to nurture Hannah’s growing sense of self.
The result is Growing a Girl.
Offering hundreds of specific suggestions and tools for fostering
a daughter’s independence and individuality, Growing a Girl
encourages parents to act now by exploring seven practical paths.
Based on clinical research and Dr. Mackoff’s highly acclaimed
Growing a Girl workshop, this extraordinary book offers parents the
skills to shatter stereotypes that can stunt a daughter’s growth
while giving her the tools to nourish her strength, spirit, and
capacity to care.
