Moving through a world of topics and emotions, these voices are fierce, alive, tender, complicated, imaginative, and smart. Girls today often find themselves in a struggle between remaining strong and true to themselves and conforming to society's expectations in an attempt to please. They are taught not to be too intense, too passionate, too smart, too caring, too open. They are encouraged to shut down their instincts, their outrage, their desires and their dreams, to be polite, to obey the rules. This book is a celebration of the authentic voice inside every girl and an inspiring call to action for girls everywhere to speak up, follow their dreams, and become the women they were always meant to be.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Girls $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Girls $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Girls $x Social life and customs $y 21st century. 856 $7 7-0260 941 $a 3 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626014707.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523013159.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202055909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDED57564D6B11E1900084C86AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
