Title: A must read for parents.
Product review: Perhaps only those of us women who had particularly rough experiences during our adolescence will truly understand the importance of this book. I hope not. Reviving Ophelia opens up the cloistered and torturous world of the teenage girl for all to see. Through many case studies and short discussions at the end of each chapter, Phipher shows what diversity of experiences girls encounter and how they deal with it. For those of us who have been through traumatic teen years, it is enlightening and provokes reflection. For those of us who also have daughters (and sons) approching this period of great change, it is more -- a wakeup call. I would encourage all parents of pre-teen girls AND boys (your boys will be interacting with these girls too) to read Ophelia.
