'Thoughtful, empathetic'. * <i>Times Literary Supplement</i> * 'If you're going to talk about women in the 21st century, you MUST read Peggy Orenstein s "Girls & Sex." No one else is asking these questions; so no one else, then, is finding out the answers.' -- Caitlin Moran, Author of <i>How to Be a Woman</i> 'Peggy Orenstein sheds light on an important and too often misunderstood topic. Her reporting shows how a healthy and direct approach to sexuality is a key component of gender equality.' -- Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org 'A nuanced read for anyone who remembers being a young woman and anyone who is raising the next generation of girls (and boys) for whom we hope the future holds sexual satisfaction, not pain or disappointment.' -- Rebecca Traister, <i>More</i> 'A vital work for parents and teachers of teenagers'. -- Jenni Murray * <i>Observer</i>, Books of the Year * "Sex and teenagers have always gone together, but parents reading Orenstein's frank exploration of current trends may still be in for a shock... This isn't a comfortable book to read (Orenstein herself admits twinges a few times), but it's an important one." -- <i>Booklist</i> "Fascinating... A wise and sharply argued look at how girls are navigating the complicated new landscape of sex and sexuality." * <i>Economist</i> * "I'm not going to tell you to go right now and buy a copy.... I'm going to tell you to buy two copies: One for yourself, and one for the teenager in your life." -- Mary Elizabeth Williams, <i>Salon</i> "Thought-provoking... Girls & Sex is full of thoughtful concern and empathetic questions." -- Cindi Leive, New York Times Book Review
