Selected
by the MS. Foundation as the official book of Take
Our Daughters to Work® Day 2000. This fascinating
book has been featured on Oprah.
Dr.
Rimm presents the conclusions of an extensive survey she conducted
with her daughters among more than 1000 satisfied, successful women,
exploring what they had in common in their upbringing and
how parents can give their own daughters the same advantages.
Based
on extensive original research, See Jane Win® provides
invaluable advice for helping girls deal with issues such
as middle school grade decline; math anxieties; eating disorders;
social and academic insecurities; feelings of being different;
self-esteem and competition; the career family balance; and
the glass ceiling. Included are profiles (based on in-depth
interviews) of women in varying careers
that illuminate the rewards and penalties of direct vs. delayed
career patterns and show us the typical pathways for women
in nontraditional and traditional fields including medicine,
science, law, business, education, politics, the arts, education,
homemaking, and allied and mental health.
Despite
the many victories of the women's movement, young girls are
still given negative messages about their potential and prospects
for their futures. Dr. Rimm shows parents how to combat those
messages and give their daughters the confidence and skills
they need to follow in the footsteps of successful women surveyed.
