Media Reviews

"What girls need, he concludes in this evenhanded but eye-opening book, is positive identity, a sense of rootedness and spirituality, and benevolent adult involvement in their lives." - PW.

"James Garbarino is always cutting edge. This well-written book offers a careful and compelling analysis of an emergent social phenomenon. See Jane Hit is consciousness-raising in the truest sense of the word." - Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia.
