A must for Teen Book Clubs or Women's Studies courses!
As a former professor of psychology and women's studies and current director of a center for girls in NYC, I would like to say this book is a must-read. For all those who have lamented the "white" slant on the information that is available about teen girls' issues, this book fills a void. Iris Jacobs weaves together essays, poems, and stories with an engaging style that is both sophisticated and accessible. I think this book is a wonderful choice for teen book clubs and a must for women's studies courses.

Iris Jacob's collection rocks!!
Great collection for youth girls and younger women of color. It stands as a girl of color version of "Yell-Oh Girls," an equally empowering and loaded collection of writings by teen and young adult Asian Pacific American women. Buy this book for your little sister!
