Smart Girls: A New Psychology of Girls, Women and Giftedness » (1st Edition)

Why do talented, gifted girls so often fail to realize their potential as they reach adolescence and adulthood? This outstanding book explores this question and offers practical advice to parents, teachers, and policy-makers about ways to help gifted girls continue to grow and succeed. Dr. Kerr presents current research on gifted girls, summarizes biographies about eminent women, their lives, and achievements, and examines the current educational and family milieu. A very insightful and helpful book for both bright women, and people involved with gifted young girls.
