Review

Praise for ODD GIRL OUT

"There has not been so much interest in young females since psychologist Mary Pipher chronicled anorexics and suicide victims in her 1994 bestseller, "Reviving Ophelia"."--"The Washington Post"

"Provocative . . . Cathartic to any teen or parent trying to find company . . . it will sound depressingly familiar to any girl with a pulse."--"Detroit Free Press"

"Encourages girls to address one another when they feel angry or jealous, rather than engage in the rumor mill."--"Chicago Tribune"

"Peels away the smiley surfaces of adolescent female society to expose one of girlhood's dark secrets: the vicious psychological warfare waged every day in the halls of our . . . schools."--"San Francisco Chronicle "

Product Description

First published in hardback in autumn 2002, this groundbreaking work has been accelerated into a popular paperback edition by force of demand. Dirty looks and taunting notes are just two examples of girl bullying that girls and women have long suffered through silently and painfully. In Odd Girl Out Rachel Simmons shows girls, parents, counsellors, and teachers how to deal with this devastating problem.

Odd Girl Out 21 April 2002
Format:Hardcover
I would like to express my thanks and congratulations to Rachel Simmons for her excellent book 'Odd Girl Out - The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls'.This is a very important book that I believe every woman who has ever been 'aggressed' by other girls or women should read. We are given an insight into the lives of victims and bullies and the stark reality of the difficult choices faced by girls in social situations, especially at school. This book addresses a problem that is hardly ever discussed, yet can have a devastating effect on girls' lives which can haunt them into adulthood. The book is very well researched and contains a large number of actual interviews with girls in various schools. Very importantly Rachel Simmons gives guidance in the last chapter on how to deal with these difficult, but alarmingly common situations.

This book is well thought out and possibly a long time coming. Simmons deals with the issues of female bullying and 'popularity' in a personal and thought provoking style. it is slightly cheesey in an American way but all is forgiven because she has brought to light a subject that most women have dealt with and provided an outlet for sharing their experiences.

As relevant to adult women as to school-age girls.

My library copy went back today but I just had to buy another to re-read.
