Epigraph
Introduction
CHAPTER 1: FIRST FACTOR - sexual identity
the mixed-up legacy of germaine greer
what do girls really want?
“it’s no big deal”
beauty products for tweens
twilight and other conservatives
“i figured you’d think less of me”
“that swimsuit becomes you”
lesbian chic
“maybe men just don’t satisfy”
CHAPTER 2 : SECOND FACTOR - the cyberbubble
better living through chemistry
too hard, too soft, just right
you the parent, a.k.a. computer cop
mean-girl cyberbully
the invention of alcohol—in 2005?
sexting
your daughter the (micro-)celebrity
CHAPTER 3 : THIRD FACTOR - obsessions
thinspiration
“running helps me relax”
anorexia of the soul
girls on the edge
life out of synch
CHAPTER 4: FOURTH FACTOR - environmental toxins
bra at 8
the price of puberty
a matter of fat
what’s in your tuna?
gimme some skin
who is PETE?
life with father
something in the air
what can parents do?
CHAPTER 5 - mind
mozart in utero
a short history of kindergarten
does “earlier” equal “better”?
“all our girls love physics”
would you rather play with a truck or a doll?
monkeys, girls, boys, and toys
the unity of everything
“it’s not the real world”
the best of both worlds?
parents unite!
mean girls
do women make better teachers for girls?
CHAPTER 6 - body
which are the most dangerous sports?
a girl’s knee is not a boy’s knee
a girl’s head is not a boy’s head
a girl’s bones are not a boy’s bones
the promise and perils of exercise
what do girls in chicago have in common with hopi girls in new mexico?
CHAPTER 7 - spirit
the great disappointment
buckle your seatbelt, don’t smoke cigarettes, and go to church
the dark night of the soul
“i believe there is a god and stuff”
a community of girls and women
