- Synopsis
- Why are more American adolescent girls prey to depression, eating disorders, addictions, and suicide attempts than ever before? According to Dr. Mary Pipher, a clinical psychologist who has treated girls from more than twenty years, we live in a look-obsessed, media saturated, "girl-poisoning" culture. Despite the advance of feminism, escalating levels of sexism an violence, cause girls to stifle their creative spirit and natural impulses which, ultimately, destroy their self-esteem. Yet girls often blame themselves or their families for this "problem with no name" instead of looking at the world around them.
