![]() ![]() In doing so, she unravels the bad-girl stereotypes we’ve all believed in for too long. ![]() This mother-daughter relationship is generally warm and close, though when it's difficult, as it inevitably is at times, Stabiner writes honestly about the challenges. She writes eloquently about societal pressures on girls and of her determination to be her daughter's advocate. However, unlike most writing on the subject, Stabiner presents a well-rounded account of parenting a coming-of-age girl. Part memoir, part sociological examination, Karen Stabiner observes her daughter, Sarah, as she navigates her critical pre-teen years, a time when girls become adolescents and are rumored to become increasingly difficult and alienated. Reclaiming Our Daughters (previously published as My Girl) offers a fresh and long-needed perspective on pre-teen and teen girls, one that finally brings a message of hope and optimism about girls today. ![]()
