BUY THIS!
This book is something EVERY girl, teen and adult woman should have growing up. If you missed out, don't let the same thing happen to the young girls and teens in your life now. What makes this book unique is that it is interactive...each exercise gets the girls thinking and teaches them to think more critically. This book empowers its readers by helping them understand that the images they are surrounded by -- those of emaciated models, hyper-sexed teens in movies and TV and others -- are NOT reality. What is real is what is inside, and there is no better way to grasp that than by looking in the mirror, and learning to see and appreciate what is REALLY there.

Great Tool for Young Women
This workbook is an excellent tool for girls and young women. It allows them to develop an awareness of society's role in our perceptions of our bodies through a gradual and natural process. Creative exercises encourage girls to explore in an enjoyable way, thus awakening thoughts and feelings. Never "preachy", this guide empowers young women to have a choice in how they feel about the self they project to the world.

Helping Young Women
I found this book to be a wonderful resource for my work with young women. This resource can be used in a clinical and educational setting as well as a great tool for use in the home. A "must have" for any young woman/teen. It guides them to be insightful and to understand how their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be influenced both positively and negatively. A great holiday gift. This would be a popular selection as most teen girls love to doodle, think, and explore themselves :-).
