Nicky Marone is an international lecturer, workshop leader, and authority on female achievement. She holds an MA in educational psychology. The author of How to Father a Successful Daughter, Women & Risk, and What's Stopping You?, she has been featured in many publications and on television and radio shows. The creator of the Girls Empowerment Program for the YWCA of Boulder, Colorado, she is also on the advisory board to the Colorado State University Institute for Women and Leadership.
Supported by expert opinion, educator Marone argues that the father-daughter relationship directly determines female achievement and psychological adjustment. She presents practical stratagems for concerned fathers: checklists of do's and don'ts; sample father-child conversations; a ``parenting style'' quiz; suggestions for relating to sexually maturing adolescents; and clear advice on risktaking, male advocacy, mediocre school performance, female eating disorders, and the nurturance of self-esteem. Marone's elitist perspective (derived from 11 years' teaching gifted children) skews her choice of examples, but happily her personal narratives interject prescription with sentiment. Recommended for both parents. Janice Arenofsky, formerly with Arizona State Lib., Phoenix
