Fight for the girls
by Heather
Well, we are entangled in gender differences this week, aren’t we? While I’m rhapsodizing about how or if I will foster my sons’ danger gene, the new book Learning Like a Girl: Educating Our Daughters in Schools of Their Own is set to hit the shelves.
I feel decidedly unqualified to review this book because, as a girl, I never received a single-sex or private school education.
And now, as a mother, I only have sons and will not have to decide whether my young daughter will better blossom into her intellectual potential in a segregated environment.
If you’re a parent of a girl or just want to learn more, enter to win this new book. To enter, simply comment on this post before Wednesday, May 23rd.

I’m a mom of two daughters. grown daughters, 20, 23. and maybe a grandaughter due next week. don’t know the sex yet. There is much to be said and read about the whole girlfriend chemistry and what teachers and especially parents can teach from a young age. We can equip our daughters. The book I have read that best opened my eyes to the neg. side of girlfriendships for girls from about 10-17 or so — it depends on your daughter is Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman
thanks for all of your thoughts that take us from A to B. enjoy the day!!
