Thank you

I bought this book last night for my 14 year old daughter, who knew about it. As we BOTH read various sections, we were amazed at how accurate the information was. At various times we both had to smile as some of stories really hit home. Thank you !!!


Much better than Odd Girl Out

Like most parents of teenagers I am desperate for any insights to help my daughter navigate the treacherous shoals of her adolescence. I read Odd Girl Out and thought it was okay, but didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Queen Bees and Wannabes, on the other hand, not only provided some new perspectives and insights, but much more importantly laid out practical steps that can help me help my daughter. My husband is reading it now, and he feels the same way. I highly recommend this book.

Preparing for the inevitable

I picked up this book for two reasons: first I am raising a young daughter and want every opportunity to understand what her world may be like, and what I can do to help as her father. Second, the reviews here really piqued my interest. For example when literary thinkers like John Zxerce review a book that looks on the surface as little more than tripe psychobabble, I take notice and assume there might be more to it.

Overall, I have skimmed the book, and plan to read it again in more detail, but there is some great information here, as well as some of the expected psychobabble that sounds good on paper but doesn't really lead anywhere. An example of this is the section of homosexuality. It was presented with an agenda, not as a realistic look into this issue.

The book is well written though, and I enjoyed, make that grimaced, at the thought of my daughter going through the school age gossip and cliques, and other potentially destructive issues teen girls face. If you are raising a young woman, this is a good source of information, but not by any means should it be taken as an "instruction manual" as the views are often overly simplistic and also often carry a liberal agenda. Good resource for identifying problems, just not solutions.

Queenbees and Wannabees

Queenbees and Wannabees is a must read for any woman trying to understand the world of her teenage daughter. Ms. Wiseman gives practical advice on how parents can guide their daughters through the many difficulties they encounter on a daily basis. And she asks us as parents to evaluate our own issues so we can be more effective in our parenting. The book is filled with information, from the author's long term experience working with girls and from the girls themselves, which help to clarify not only what these girls go through but also how they feel about it. In dealing with this sensitive subject in such a thorough and useful way, Ms. Wiseman has done a great service to all of us who want to change the toxic social climate in our schools and who want to help our children become strong, independent and "successful" human beings. A great book. Long-overdo!
