Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls
A must read for any parent of a daughter. Whether your own child is going through the hell that is relational aggression or if she is a perpetrator, Simmons' book shines a light on how our entire society sets girls up to fail each other. By insisting that nice girls only act "nice", we leave them no acceptable way to handle their natural angers, frustrations and hostilities. They are forced to subvert their feelings which eventually come out in all of the cruel behaviours girls are known for.
This book will break your heart. It will also open your eyes and show you that things must change or girls will always be cruel to each other.
