Cinderella Ate My Daughter is a great book by Peggy Orenstein exploring the implications of the super girlie culture for our daughters. Let's get together to talk about the book and share our ideas and experiences with the princess culture.
From the cover:
"Pink and pretty or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as a source—the source—of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages."
Feel free to bring snacks or drinks.
