Todays culture offers broadening opportunities for women; yet it still pressures them to fit long-standing stereotypes. McMinn challenges parents, teachers, churches, and civic communities to create a social environment that nurtures strong, confident girls. Combining careful research with personal experience, McMinn takes a thoughtful look at gender differences and patterns limiting womens full participation in society. She discusses what it means to raise strong daughters made in the image of God and covers the various aspects of strengthconfidence, interdependence, voice, and self-image.
