Personal Review: Great Books for Girls: More Than 600 Books
to Inspire Todays Girls and Tomorrows Women by Kathleen
Odean
I love this book and take it with me every week when my 4-yr.-old daughter
and I go to the library. Despite my best efforts, the Disney princess, Barbie,
Bratz, etc. marketing machine is so in her face that of course that is what
she gravitates to. Hoping it's just a phase, and trying not to be too didactic,

I let her pick out what she wants (with the exception of Bratz!) but also pull
out my secret weapon--this book--to always pick out a couple more books
that present some alternative, balanced, positive models for her of what
girls can be. Labeling these "feminist" girls is so ridiculous and retrograde.
They are girls who make their own decisions, like nature, like sports, like
animals--they are fully human. I pity the woman or man whose experience
of life is so narrow that they feel the need to tack a label on such pursuits
and passions. I only hope the book will be updated soon...
