- Synopsis
- THREE YEARS ON THENEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER LIST AND MORE THAN 1. 5 MILLION COPIES SOLD WhenReviving Opheliawas first published nearly a decade ago, the response was extraordinary–and Dr. Mary Pipher became one of the most sought-after speakers in the country. She posed the provocative question: Why are American adolescent girls falling prey to depression, eating disorders, and suicide attempts at an alarming rate? The answer hit a nerve. We live in a look-obsessed, sexist “girl-poisoning” culture. And despite the advances of feminism, girls continue to struggle to find their true selves. Here are girls’ unmuted voices from the front lines of adolescence, personal and painfully honest. By laying bare their harsh day-to-day reality,Reviving Opheliaissues a call to arms and offers parents compassion, strength, and strategies with which to revive these Ophelias’ lost sense of self.
