Reclaiming Our Daughters: What Parenting a Pre-Teen Taught Me About Real Girls (previously published as My Girl) - Softcover
Reclaiming Our Daughters (previously published as My Girl) offers a fresh and long-needed perspective on pre-teen and teen girls, one that finally brings a message of hope and optimism about girls today.
Part memoir, part sociological examination, Karen Stabiner observes her daughter, Sarah, as she navigates her critical pre-teen years, a time when girls become adolescents and are rumored to become increasingly difficult and alienated. However, unlike most writing on the subject, Stabiner presents a well-rounded account of parenting a coming-of-age girl. She writes eloquently about societal pressures on girls and of her determination to be her daughter's advocate. This mother-daughter relationship is generally warm and close, though when it's difficult, as it inevitably is at times, Stabiner writes honestly about the challenges. In doing so, she unravels the bad-girl stereotypes we’ve all believed in for too long.
Reclaiming Our Daughters (previously published as My Girl) is both supportive and encouraging, written by a mother who cares about lifting our daughters up and providing them with the skills they need to become successful, strong, independent-minded women.

About the Author:
Karen Stabiner’s previous books include All Girls and To Dance with the Devil. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, O, Vogue, and other periodicals. Stabiner lives in Santa Monica, California, with her husband and their daughter.
From Booklist:
Stabiner, whose acclaimed titles include All Girls: Single-Sex Education and Why It Matters (2002), tells her own story in this vivid, intimate memoir about watching her daughter enter adolescence. In a moving introduction, Stabiner discusses the "embattled caricature" of teenage girls as victims of eating disorders, low self-esteem, bullying, and more, pointing out that a recent spate of related titles have focused on a small percentage of teens, many of whom are in treatment for problems. As Stabiner says, "happy girls need not apply." In fluid, highly quotable prose, she relates her changing relationship with her daughter, alternating personal scenes with research and expert opinion. Readers may not find every sea-change moment compelling; Stabiner's debates, for example, about buying her daughter a horse may not connect with those parents facing more serious concerns. But her perspective on healthy girls is refreshing and important, and many readers will be grateful for Stabiner's humor, candor, and insight into parenting and the small moments that create the deepest bonds between parents and children.
