REVIVING OPHELIA: SAVING THE SELVES OF ADOLESCENT GIRLS by Mary Bray Pipher From her work as a psychotherapist for adolescent females, Pipher here posits and persuasively argues her thesis that today's teenaged girls are coming of age in "a girl-poisoning culture." Backed by anecdotal evidence and research findings, she suggests that, despite the advances of feminism, young women continue to be victims of abuse, self-mutilation (e.g., anorexia), consumerism and media pressure to conform to others' ideals (Publisher's Weekly). 305.235 PIP AMERICA'S WOMEN by Gail Collins

silly, funny, and heartbreaking, these women shaped the nation and
our vision of what it means to be female in America (Book Description). NEW NON-FICTION 305.409 COL TIDAL WAVE: THE STORY OF THE MODERN WOMEN'S MOVEMENT AND HOW IT CONTINUES TO CHANGE AMERICA by Sara M. Evans
Sara M. Evans is one of our foremost historians of women in America.
Her book Personal Politics is a classic that captured the origins
of the modern women's movement; its successor, Born for Liberty,

Evans again sets the standard by drawing on an extraordinary range
of interviews, archives, and published sources to tell the incredible
story of the past forty years in women's history (Book Description). 305.42 EVA I DWELL IN POSSIBILITY: WOMEN BUILD A NATION, 1600-1920 by Donna M. Lucey

Here, Sara's mom, a psychologist and family therapist, deals with mothering an adolescent daughter (Library Journal). 306.874 SHA THE 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL WOMEN OF ALL TIME: A RANKING OF PAST AND PRESENT by Deborah G.
