Reviews for Girls & Sex - Navigating the Complicated New Landscape
`A vital work for parents and teachers of teenagers'.
Jenni Murray
Observer, 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.
Booklist Fascinating... A wise and sharply argued look at how girls are navigating the complicated new landscape of sex and sexuality.
Economist
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, Salon Thought-provoking... Girls & Sex is full of thoughtful concern and empathetic questions.
