Feisty Females: Inspiring Girls to Think Mathematically

by Linda Allen, Karen S. Karp, E. Todd Brown

Although girls enter school more "math ready" than boys, statistics show that by the time they graduate from high school they will have been outdistanced by males both in critical test scores and in level of interest. What has happened in the intervening years and what can we do to stop it? In Feisty Females, the authors offer some insight and propose a solution.

Feisty Females is based upon a two-year action research project...

Very Sound Precepts with good examples. Interesting book.

These four authors are really on to something which needs to be considered by not only educators , but parents of girls who more and more need to be strengthened in their abilities to compete in the fast-moving technical, mathematical and scientific world of the future. Their precepts are very sound.
