Description: Girls and young women today have more opportunities than ever before. They aspire to be doctors, scientists, writers -- anything they want. Yet at the same time, they struggle with the societal forces of body-image, sex, and peer pressure. Strong, Smart, & Bold speaks directly to these and the other powerful issues that limit a girl's ability to dream and to reach her full potential, now and in her future.

Based on the successful approach of Girls, Inc. -- an organization serving 350,000 girls in more than 1000 sites nationwide and committed to reaching 1,000,000 girls each year -- Strong, Smart, & Bold helps readers to bring out a young girl's spirit as early as possible and give her the self-assurance she needs to thrive in today's society. Weaving together cutting-edge research with compelling success stories of the girls served by Girls, Inc., this groundbreaking book offers clear, concise advice and direction for helping a girl to understand that she has a voice -- and to encourage her to use it, to speak up, and to be heard.
