520 |a "Like many girls growing up in the eighties and nineties, Melissa Fraterrigo leaned on popular culture to transition from childhood to adolescence and beyond. Judy Blume told stories about girls embracing their imperfections; Madonna encouraged bold moves. But Fraterrigo's experiences with dating and attempts to refashion her body through diet and exercise left her feeling far from empowered. It wasn't until Fraterrigo became a mother to twin daughters and they began their own self-criticisms that she questioned how she might help them navigate their own girlhoods. A handsome swim coach's advances, an anxious daughter soothing her father's temper, the history of Mace, and the joy of female friendship: these are some of the memories that shape Fraterrigo's worldview as an adult. Written with lyricism and insight, The Perils of Girlhood provides a reckoning and a reclamation. And while these personal narratives developed from Fraterrigo's desire to guide her daughters, their universal truths compel us to consider how best to bring all of our daughters into the future"--  |c Provided by publisher.
