reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Simmons (ODD GIRL OUT) explores how encouraging our daughters to be "good girls" (nice, polite, modest, selfless) can undercut their courage and self-confidence, making it hard for them to know what they feel and say what they think. As narrator of this provocative book, Christina Moore sounds genuinely engaged; she moves easily from dramatizing the book's plentiful dialogue (produced from interviews) to capably navigating its expository passages. Moore's varied pacing, expressive voice, and clear diction make listening easy and pleasurable, allowing for a deep consideration of the author's observations. Whether dramatizing the life of an insecure girl or offering Simmons's recommendations to parents who want to raise "authentic girls," Moore's presentation enhances our understanding of this book.

   • content:

     May 18, 2009
     In this volume for parents of middle-school daughters, the author of Odd Girl Out
     observes that girls today still pressure themselves to conform to the old, narrow paradigm of a nice, people-pleasing, rule-following, even-tempered, socially acceptable good girl, shunning the image of a rebellious, proud, socially outré, in-charge, outspoken bad girl. To dispel the curse of the good girl, and despite using those familiar, easily misconstrued labels as a touchstone, Girls Leadership Institute founder Simmons offers instructive tales out of school and workshops, revealing that flawed communication rituals and fear of confrontation contribute equally to a girl’s belief that it is more important to be liked than to be an individual. In order to become a successful, well-adjusted “real girl,” she needs to know how to say no to peers, ask for what she needs and express what she thinks. In the second half of this book, parents will find concrete strategies and tools—confidence-building exercises that emphasize emotional intelligence, self-evaluations, q&a’s, scripts and lots of first-person stories—to help guide a girl’s growth into a young woman who can respect and listen to her inner voice, say what she feels and thinks, embrace her limits and present an authentic self to the world.
