I read this book when I was twelve and going through tough times. I read it again a year later and was amazed at how it still spoke to me. It's good to know that there are other girls going through the same things. I still cry every time I read the chapter on self-inflicted wounds,but it also helps me get through that part of my life. Every adult who wonders what goes on in their daughter's life should read thi book. And every girl who wants to know she's not alone should,too. Thank you to the girls who contributed and to Sara for listening to their stories,to our stories.

I read this book as a junior in high school and now, 5 years later, I picked it up again for another read and realize how truly amazing a work this is. Compiling works from a variety of young females gives perspective like no other. I reccommend this book to any female, young or old. It is a great read and truly a shoulder to lean on.

I read Ophelia Speaks for the first time as a 15 year old high school sophmore. In the four years since that first reading, I have not only re-read the book, but also bought copies for friends, aquaintances and family members. Every single experience I have had to deal with in the past four years has been shared by at least one of the extremely talented essayists catalogued in Ophelia Speaks. This book should be a must read for all adolescent girls. Through it's pages, we hear not just Ophelia, but an entire generation of young women, speak.
A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary," the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
Z, the novel about the life of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald is at points charming and; like another reviewer, I kept thinking of the movie, "Midnight...
