"As a primary male role model in a girl's life, a father influences his daughter in profound ways, from how she defines her female identity to what she expects from men. In RAISING EMPOWERED DAUGHTERS, Mike Adamick offers a wise and witty handbook for dads, showing them how they can raise girls who wont settle for second-class citizenship. Examining the extraordinary array of sexisms-- both subtle and not-so subtle-- girls encounter, Adamick highlights not just the way girls and boys are treated differently, but how the roles of moms and dads are shaped by society, too. Full of eye-opening anecdotes and dad-relatable humor, this is a necessary guide for every father who wants to raise a confident daughter." -- cover page 4.
