Review

Raising a daughter? As Peggy Orenstein concluded in Schoolgirls, girls still view their gender as a liability. How then, can parents who are concerned about the sexist restrictions society tends to heap on girls help their daughters honor the feminine inside? What kinds of modern daily rituals and special initiation ceremonies can help a girl through her transitions, and help her celebrate her life? In Celebrating Girls, Virginia Beane Rutter offers specific ways to help raise self-esteem, make girls understand that they do matter, assure their physical self-confidence, empower their minds, and support their creativity.
