Necessity for all moms with daughters

This book is outstanding - every mom with a daughter needs to read this book. I purchased the book for my daughters and wish the book had been available when they were small. My granddaughters will benefit from this essential book.

Opening doors for empowerment

I had a terrible teenagehood, filled with shame and fear, my religious mother and step father wanted me to be everything they weren't in their drug filled early adulthood. So I went into the world, unprepared and naive, making mistakes along the way, only to be chastised by my "well meaning" parents.I have come full circle and desire to pass on this strength to my (now 9 1/2 year old) daughter. I love books such as "Raising Strong Daughters" because there are so many great "do to's" suggested that take the guess work out of what works and what doesn't. I don't have to make my daughter be a guinea pig experiment of being an empowered woman, I can take other women's studies and apply them to our lives.After reading this book, I took my daughter to the Lilith Fair to see some beautifully human and real women sing. I think it sends a strong message that she can do whatever she wants to with her life. I want to cultivate that she does not have to do what society says if she doesn't want to. Well, mom doesn't anyway...THANKS for a fab book!!Michelle
