Caitlin Flanagan's essays about marriage, sex, and families
have sparked national debates. Now she turns her attention
to girls: the biological and cultural milestones for girls
today, and how they shape a girl's sense of herself. The transition from girl to woman is an experience that has
changed radically over the generations: everything from how
a girl learns about her period to how she expects to be
treated by boys and men. Girls today observe these passages
very differently, and yet the landmarks themselves have
remained remarkably constant-proof, Flanagan believes, of
their significance. In a world where protections of girls'
privacy and personal freedom seem to disappear every day,
the ultimate challenge modern parents face is finding a way
to defend both.
