Customer Reviews

Truly useful and well presented

Dr. Rimm has done a fantastic job of translating her findings from her research for See Jane Win and How Jane Won into a format that girls can appreciate and relate to. I plan to give this to my niece and any other girls who can use it.--Catherine Dee, author of The Girls' Book of Success (2003)

Good self-esteem builder for young girls...

A fun-and-valuable read for girls in upper elementary or middle school, Rimm's See Jane Win for Girls is a self-esteem boosting, self-discovery book that girls enjoy. My 12-year-old daughter enjoyed reading this book to reveiw with me, and she was smiling often, and even laughed out loud.From Brainpower to Social Smarts (or not!), continuing to tough topics including When Things Change (moving, new school, divorce, etc.) and Family (anger, parents, siblings, and more), Rimm talks about many of the everyday and extraordinary issues facing smart girls today, and offers introspection and ideas for dealing with them, and growing from them.See Jane Win for Girls is mixed with quotes and questions from young girls, quotes from grown-up girls, and inventories and tips to make the book even more personal for your smart girl.I'd recommend this book for all gifted young girls, before, during and after those difficult middle school years.
