Customer Reviews

This book is great!It answers all of a teens questions!

I absolutly love this book! It answered all of my questions about becoming a woman and about how to be safe under pressure. It has different sections about different thing that girls want to know. It even has a section on how men feel about the things that their daughters are going through. I recomend this book to anybody who has questions about being older.

Great book for teens and women of all ages

Girls to Women, Women to Girls is an excellent collection of thoughts, stories, and poems from girls and women around the globe. I love it, and have read it like, ten times. It talks about things like what it is to be a female, peer pressure and cliques, teen crisis, and sex and virginity. I found it very inspirational and encouraging. It doesn't even really confine to teens and pre-teens either. It is, in my opinion, a great book for all ages. it's a book that grows with you. I VERY stronly recommend this book.

an authentic celebration of women

In appearance this is a very colorfull book which did not prepare me for its very serious content. It is wonderfully rich in the experience and wisdom of many women gained through living productively, if not always happily, while searching for meaning in their lives. More, they tell their stories with very little, if any, rancor towards men. A major strength. In this it is almost a pure celebration of womanhood, a concept still struggling for widespread acceptance in American society. While there has been some editing, the stories these women tell are essentially in their own words which only adds to the volumne's credibility. It also suggests the notion that people have a need to tell their stories, to be heard, and to be acknowledged. In an age when so much of our lives are dictated by forces beyond our control, this, in and of itself is no small accomplishment. In short, this is a book I would recommend for my mother, sister, daughter and grand-daughter. I'm waiting for someone to produce the male version.

An AWESOME book for any girl or woman!!!!!!

I am twelve years old, and have probably read hundreds of books in my lifetime, but this is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is full of GREAT stories written by girls and women ages 9-98. (There's even a great chapter with some amazing stories written by fathers!) My favorite chapter in the book is the one about peers and friends. When the authors were collecting writings, I submitted a story that eventually made it into the book. All of my friends (and their mothers) own at least one copy of it, and they have all said wonderful things about Girls to Women, Women to Girls. No matter what their age, girls and women all over the world are sure to enjoy this book.

A great gift for any young girl in your life!

This is the perfect way to share wisdom from women of many ages with any young girl in your life. The book is not only a compilation of stories, insights, and thought provoking ideas from women and girls across the nation, it is also a place for girls to write their own thoughts and questions. And the best part for those giving the book as a gift is the chance to add your own personal wisdom at the end of each chapter. What a concept??!!!!! Girls need books like this to help them negotiate the complexities of becoming a woman and women need books like this to remind them of the wisdom they hold.
