Are girls taking over the world? It would appear so, based on magazine covers, news headlines, and popular books touting girls’ academic success. Girls are said to outperform boys in high school exams, university entrance and graduation rates, and professional certification. As a result, many in Western society assume that girls no longer need support. But in spite of the messages of post-feminism and neoliberal individualism that tell girls they can have it all, the reality is far more complicated. Smart Girls investigates how academically successful girls deal with stress, the “supergirl” drive for perfection, race and class issues, and the sexism that is still present in schools. Describing girls’ varied everyday experiences, including negotiations of traditional gender norms, Shauna Pomerantz and Rebecca Raby show how teachers, administrators, parents, and media commentators can help smart girls thrive while working toward straight As and a bright future.

Inside every woman is a smart woman with special abilities. But do women show or even know this part of themselves? Do women sometimes find themselves 'dumbing down, ' pretending to not be as competent as they know they are? Why do women tend to downplay their dreams? What happens in our culture to create these and numerous other situations where women do not live the life they feel they can because of what others might 'think' or 'do' or 'believe' in response?Author Alice Rowe, with a doctorate in human development, presents Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? offering an honest, clear place to explore these painful questions and to provide inspiration for women to let their light shine: to celebrate their gifts and talents, not to hide them.As an educator, speaker and trainer, Alice Rowe, Ph.D., based her book on her extensive study of American women. The themes explored in these women's lives overlap with most women. Conversational in tone, one hears the voices of real women describe various themes such as: Smart women often find themselves trapped in a Double Bind. As they strive to achieve professional success and recognition, they still feel societal pressure to assume more conventional roles.Smart women feel as though they must do everything, and do it well. They are expected to handle everything, and there is no room to ask for help.These themes and many more offer inspiring models of achievement and tell of triumphs in the midst of conflicting expectations...hitting at the heart of life for many women.Dr. Rowe portrays vivid real-life experiences within the framework of her research. She includes excerpts from leading researchers And probing, stimulatingquestions at the end of each chapter inviting sincere reflection and discovery. This format creates a very accessible book, revealing a clear portrait of the dilemmas and challenges facing 21st century women.Although ideal for personal journeying, these materials have been widely used as a course text in women's study classes, a resource in Women's Centers, for study and interaction at women's organizations and in church groups across the country. This material gets to the issues and helps women discover answers for themselves and their own lives. Valuable resources, including other books, organizations and websites create opportunities for women to continue their exploration.With a mission to help women not only understand, but more fully realize themselves, Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? is an enlightening portrayal of smart women in our culture.
