About this title

Synopsis:

In opposition to other books available discussing how girls are mean to each other, this book looks at WHY girls act this way. The author looks at the images family and media inadvertenly send to girls and discusses what should be done to prevent this avoidable pattern.

Review:

"Brown's book, however, is a clear departure from the film [Mean Girls] stereotypes about dumb, mean, backstabbing girls."
-Waterville, Sunday Morning Sentinel

"Girlfighting is a serious and intelligent analysis of the cruelty and meanness involved in girls' relationships at each stage of development."
-Pyschiatric Services

"This book opens discussion related to the female gender role and the socialization of girls in many different, thought provoking ways, and serves as a timely critique of the current societal messages directed toward girls."
-Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy

"Brown declares that to change the patterns of female animosity we must address the social environment as well as the individual."
-Women's Review of Books

"While schools and parents scramble to once again 'fix girls' via meanness prevention programs, Lyn Brown gives us a wider, different, and eye-opening view of the problem. . . . This is the smartest book on mean girls around."
-Sharon Lamb, author of The Secret Lives of Girls
