Meet Emily. Her early years are dominated by the soft color pink. On television, most of the cartoon characters she sees, particularly the active ones, are male. As she grows up in her average American, two-career home, child care and household labor are a female province and her mother, unlike her father, spends hours attending to her own physical appearance. By the age of seven, Emily has a sense that her life roles are defined by her gender and that much of her future worth depends on her looks. In college, professors invite her - and not her male peers - to continue office hour discussions over coffee. Later, job interviews conducted by men include questions about her love life and her plans for marriage and child care. Emily has become the American woman - blessed with equal opportunities but not genuine freedom. Dr. Montana Katz takes readers on a journey of this average girl's development from childhood through womanhood, showing them how to recognize and manage gender limitations and, more important, how to raise daughters who will not be limited by society's socialization of them.
