Across the country, there’s a youth-led rebellion challenging
the status quo. In Seattle and Pittsburgh, teenage girls protest
against companies that sell sleazy clothing. Online, a
nineteen-year-old describes her struggles with her mother, who she
feels is pressuring her to lose her virginity. In a small town
outside Philadelphia, an eleventh-grade girl, upset over a “dirty
book” read aloud in English class, takes her case to the school
board. These are not your mother’s rebels.
Drawing on numerous studies and interviews, the brilliant Wendy
Shalit makes the case that today’s virulent “bad girl” mindset
truly oppresses young women. She reveals how the media, one’s
peers, and even parents can undermine girls’ quests for their
authentic selves, and explains what it means to break from the herd
mentality and choose integrity over popularity. Written with
sincerity and upbeat humor, The Good Girl Revolution rescues the
good girl from the realm of mythology and old manners guides to
show that today’ s version is the real rebel. Society may perceive
the good girl as “mild,” but Shalit demonstrates that she is in
fact the opposite. The new female role models are not “people
pleasing” or repressed; they are outspoken and reclaiming their
individuality. These empowering stories are sure to be an
inspiration to teenagers and parents alike. Join the conversation
