From the Inside Flap

Noted child psychologist Sylvia Rimm, along with her daughters, a research psychologist and a pediatric oncology researcher, conducted a three-year survey of more than a thousand successful women to uncover what elements of their childhood and adolescence contributed to their success -- and how today's parents can give their own daughters the same advantages.

Should you encourage your daughter's competitive streak? How important are social skills? Does birth order make a difference? Based on extensive original research, See Jane Win provides invaluable information distilled from women in nontraditional and traditional fields, from medicine, science, law, politics, and business to arts, education, homemaking, and mental health. Here is informed advice on helping girls deal with middle-school grade decline; math anxiety; eating disorders; social insecurity; self-esteem and competition; the career/family balance; the glass ceiling; and more.
