Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls Check Availability

Dr. Pipher poses the provocative question: Why are American adolescent girls falling prey to depression, eating disorders, and suicide attempts at an alarming rate? The answer hit a nerve. We live in a look-obsessed, sexist, "girl-poisoning" culture. And despite the advances of feminism, girls continue to struggle to find their true selves. In this special edition, featuring an incisive interview of Mary Pipher by her daughter, readers will see that this book remains as relevant and as urgent today as every before.
