Title: Read this for the case studies, nothing else.
Product review: I found the case studies absolutely intriguing, but as for the commentary on them...well, that was disappointing. Having had a rough time in my teenage years, I thought that I would relate more, or find relief perhaps, in Pipher's explanations. But I did not. I would call her tone along the lines of militant feminism. Granted society screws us up some, but it can't be held liable to the degree Pipher maintains. I am skeptical of a woman from a stable home in a small Nebraska town who creates theories that she claims are applicable to the rest of the US. She seemed to spend her whole commentary time whining about how different the 90s are from the 60s. I think that being a teenage girl really sucks, but Pipher gives me little relief that there is any good thinking and thus progress happening on the subject
