"Highly readable, fascinating account of the lives of contemporary
young women ... In probing chapters that deftly synthesize sobering
statistics, case anecdotes, and personal observation, Hinshaw makes
a strong case that teen girls are in crisis ... This balanced,
thorough, compassionate title is required reading for parents,
teachers, and teens of both sexes."
-- Booklist
“If you read any book about girls in the next decade, make it The
Triple Bind. Dr. Hinshaw masterfully articulates the intense and
hidden pressures that every one of our daughters endures. Most
important, he offers us solutions.”
–Dr. Meg Meeker, author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
“Society is failing today’s girls, pressuring them to achieve
success at levels they cannot possibly attain. Now that Stephen
Hinshaw has named and explained The Triple Bind, it’s up to all of
us to better support the healthy development and inner well-being
of girls. A must-read.”
–Diane E. Levin, Ph.D., coauthor of So Sexy So Soon
