Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls

Anyone else read this? I am about halfway done, and she perfectly articulates the social issues of adolescent girls. A good read for teachers, therapist, or anyone who works with adolescents.

I read it when I was in grad school for education- it was very eye-opening.

Just Girls: Hidden Literacies and Life in Junior High by Margaret Finders was also interesting- it focused more on how girls use literacy to navigate social aspects of adolescence.

I read it when I was working in schools and found it useful. Another one I have, but haven't read yet is Odd Girl Out - which is about aggression in girls. I have soooo many I want to get through this summer Chat Icon

Not a bad idea! Do you think people would be interested in reading about adolescent girls?

I have owned this book for years and I am finally reading it. I also own Opehlia Speaks, Odd Girl Out, and Odd Girl Speaks Out.

I am a social worker in a school and I run an after school group for girls dealing with all of these issues. I am actually taking an inservice class in August dealing with this exact issue.
