: What's Bad About Being Too Good [publisher:] "What
happens
when nothing is good enough? When an "A" is onlhy seen as "not an A+"?
When an eighth inning scoring run by the opposing team turns a
remarkable
seven innings into "just another loss." When your parents say they want
the best for you but mean they ONLY want the best FROM you? When your
are
your own worst critic—and you're only 15? Most likely, you are a
perfectionist
teen who cannot see your excellent work and achievements for what they
are.." [see also: page on perfectionism]

talent: Psychometric and social issues. "..brings
together
a distinguished group of authorities to examine the dominant techniques
used to educate gifted youth today and the exemplification of those
techniques
in various university-based programs across the country. From a review
of the current research on individual differences and its relevance to
intellectual talent, to descriptions of the current knowledge about
educating
gifted children, this book illustrates how our educational system can
enhance
gifted youths' academic achievement."

Lyn Mikel Brown Raising
Their Voices: The Politics of Girls' Anger "In a year
of
meeting with groups of girls in two Maine communities--one primarily
working-class,
one middle- and upper-middle-class--Brown engages the young women in
discussions
about their relationships, their feelings, and the expectations they
have
begun to sense around being female. The book, liberally seasoned with
the
girls' rowdy, clever, conflicted talk, reveals a vast difference
between
the role-stereotype pressure on working-class girls and their middle-
class
counterparts, and offers the news that all girls do not simply
acquiesce
to the constrictions of American culture, nor, if given the right
support,
do they need to. Brown exhorts adults, particularly women, to allow
girls
their voices, and to suggest to them, as she does, "the possibility,
even
under the most oppressive of conditions, for creative refusal and
resistance."

Hillary Carlip. Girl
Power - Personal Writings from Teenage Girls
[Amazon.com:] "I wonder if
everyone
feels the way I do. I wonder if every girl at the age of 17 feels dumb
and alone." Sam, a zine writer and Riot Grrrl from San Diego, voices a
lament echoed by many of the young women who speak their minds and
souls
in Girl Power. Hillary Carlip wanted to provide a forum for young women
of all types, temperaments, and truths to express their deepest
sentiments.
Carlip felt that writing was the perfect platform, believing that
"Through
writing, not only are demons freed and mockeries banished, but through
self-expression ... they come into their power." The result is a
beautiful,
intoxicating outcry--of opinions, feelings, rants, raves, poetry,
prose,
shouts, and cheers--given structure and flow by Carlip's insight and
explanations."

McLachlan From
Lilith to Lilith Fair : The Authorized Story "Lilith,
the
mythological character from whom the Lilith Fair takes its name, had
the
audacity to defy God. The force that Sarah McLachlan defied in 1997 by
proposing a real alternative to the summer music festival... [this
book]
chronicles the festival.. from its seedling stages to full bloom with
insights
from most of Lilith's 1997 artists, including Paula Cole, Indigo Girls,
and Sarah herself. Most chapters begin with a portrait of a pioneering
woman, from 16th-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi to
Canadian
suffragette Nellie McClung. The historical stories point most
frequently
to women's struggles to be heard, honored, and even considered through
the ages. The Lilith Fair artists relate more contemporary stories of
discrimination
and prejudice, and ultimately of triumph."

"Eisler applies her concept of a gender-equal, multicultural,

sensitive world to the modern education system, advocating a kinder,
gentler
curriculum in which aggressive "dominator" cultures are contrasted with
"partnership" cultures. Students, she argues, must be taught beliefs,
stories,
and values that support the latter type of culture as the correct one.
The partnership approach will give students an enlightened context and
make life more meaningful to them... she provides examples of lessons
as
well as suggested reading and information sources on topics such as
Native
Americans, multiculturalism in math, human rights, and women's issues."

creativity."

Eagle, Fly: An African Fable [Booklist:] "While
searching
for a lost calf, a farmer finds an eagle chick. "The eagle is the king
of birds," he says, "but we shall train it to be a chicken." And so the
proud bird is raised among the barnyard fowl. One day, a friend visits
and vows to prove that the eagle really belongs to the sky. However,
each
time he urges the bird to fly, it returns to Earth. Early one morning,
the friend takes the bird to the top of a nearby mountain to greet the
dawn. In a breathtaking moment, the bird rises with the sun and soars
into
the sky, "never again to live among the chickens." Gregorowski's
retelling
of a Ghanian folktale is a powerful celebration of the human spirit and
its need for independence."

"At school, I would always take
on
the most challenging projects, sometimes to the degree that I would
lose
interest before they were completed.... One project I did follow
through
on and which, consequently, was empowering and inspiring for me was
directing

awakened
me to the knowledge that I could do anything I set my mind to. I
believe
this of everyone. I believe from the bottom of my heart that there is
nothing
we as human beings, and especially we as women cannot tackle. It is not

Alice Miller writes, "When I used the word 'gifted' in the title, I had
in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children
talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived
an
abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable
cruelty
by becoming numb...Without this 'gift' offered us by nature, we would
not
have survived." .. [this book] helps us to reclaim our life by

Say My Kid's Gifted, Now What? "There is a horrid

I'm
talking about the broad range of talents... Gifted students sometimes
fall
through the cracks because there is a tendency, not only with the
general
public, but with a number of educators who operate under the old
colloquialism
'gifted kids will get it on their own.' In fact, bright children do
comprise
a sizable portion of high school dropouts."

Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls
"At adolescence," says Mary
Pipher,
"girls become 'female impersonators' who fit their whole selves into
small,
crowded spaces." Many lose spark, interest, and even IQ points as a
"girl-poisoning"
society forces a choice between being shunned for staying true to
oneself
and struggling to stay within a narrow definition of female. Pipher's
alarming
tales of a generation swamped by pain may be partly informed by her
role
as a therapist who sees troubled children and teens, but her sketch of
a tougher, more menacing world for girls often hits the mark. She
offers
some prescriptions for changing society and helping girls resist."

"[From Booklist:] "Ryan, an

columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, offers disturbing anecdotal
evidence indicating that women's gymnastics and figure skating are
physically
and psychologically damaging to a majority of participants with
realistic
Olympic aspirations... Ryan documents that between the years 1976-92,
the
average U.S. Olympic gymnast became a year younger, six and one-half
inches
shorter, and 23 pounds lighter. The sport not only attracts tiny girls,
it manufactures them: these days the demanding physical requirements of
championship women's gymnastics can only be met by prepubescent, very
light,
very flexible girls. Control their weight through intimidation, delay
the
onset of puberty via exhaustion and starvation, and voila - You've got
little girls forever. But by delaying puberty, one also inhibits the
production
of estrogen, which is essential for adult bone density."
