About this product

Product Information

When boys act out, get into fights, or become physically aggressive, we can't avoid noticing their bad behavior. But it is easy to miss the subtle signs of aggression in girls--the dirty looks, the taunting notes, or the exclusion from the group-that send girls home crying. In Odd Girl Out , Rachel Simmons focuses on these interactions and provides language for the indirect aggression that runs through the lives and friendships of girls. These exchanges take place within intimate circles--the importance of friends and the fear of losing them is key. Without the cultural consent to express their anger or to resolve their conflicts, girls express their aggression in covert but damaging ways. Every generation of women can tell stories of being bullied, but Odd Girl Out explores and explains these experiences for the first time. Journalist Rachel Simmons sheds light on destructive patterns that need our attention. With advice for girls, parents, teachers, and even school administrators, Odd Girl Out is a groundbreaking work that every woman will agree is long overdue.

"This is the book we have been waiting for. It's a wakeup call to all of us who care deeply about girls' development. Simmons has given voice to the girls who struggle every day with friendships. She has uncovered a hidden world of aggression that unfolds behind adults' backs." --Susan Wellman, president of the Ophelia Project, Praise for ODD GIRL OUT "There has not been so much interest in young females since psychologist Mary Pipher chronicled anorexics and suicide victims in her 1994 bestseller,Reviving Ophelia."--The Washington Post "Provocative . . . Cathartic to any teen or parent trying to find company . . . it will sound depressingly familiar to any girl with a pulse."--Detroit Free Press "Encourages girls to address one another when they feel angry or jealous, rather than engage in the rumor mill."--Chicago Tribune "Peels away the smiley surfaces of adolescent female society to expose one of girlhood's dark secrets: the vicious psychological warfare waged every day in the halls of our . . . schools."--San Francisco Chronicle, Praise for ODD GIRL OUT "There has not been so much interest in young females since psychologist Mary Pipher chronicled anorexics and suicide victims in her 1994 bestseller, Reviving Ophelia ."-- The Washington Post "Provocative . . .

Too much bickering...but still an interesting book!
The book is definitely a must read for those parents with daughters. I found there to be too many stories about petty arguments between girls. I believe the author could have made the same point with about half the amount of detailed conversations and fights. An interesting book though and it does make good points about letting girls express their feelings and who they are instead of always expecting them to be "the good girl!" I recommend it but get ready for lots of filler...

Good book if you like the subject
I read this book and found it to be very insightful in to the lives of kids/teens today, but it did seem to be the same kind of thing over and over. Girls bully in a different way that guys. Maybe it seemed to be too much of the same thing for me because I am a female and I went through it all in school when I was little so I already knew what was going to be discussed. However, I still think it is a good book to read and there are some differences in how much social pressure girls are faced with now compared to 15-20 years ago when I was in elementary-middle school.

Odd Girl Out
I really did not care for this book. The stories and examples were childish and minor. The book was not appealing to me at all. I did not enjoy any parts of the book.
