Adolescent Girls Write About Their Search for Self.
Inspired by Mary Pipher's bestselling 'Reviving Ophelia', the real "Ophelias" speak for themselves in a provocative, moving and heartfelt response.
This is a poignant collection of original pieces selected from more than 800 contributions, 'Ophelia Speaks' culls writings from the hearts of girls nationwide, of various races, religions and socio-economic backgrounds. Ranging in age from 12 to 18, the voices here offer a provocative and piercingly real view on issues public and private, from body image to boys, politics to parents, school to sex. Framing each chapter are Shandler's own personal reflections, offering an honest perspective from within the whirlwind of adolescence.
