"In
THE
WONDER OF GIRLS, therapist Gurian
probes
the unique aspects
of girls'
emotional, social and physical development in a follow-up to his
bestselling THE
WONDER OF BOYS. He urges parents to use a new
model in raising girls (he calls it "Womanism") in which girls
establish a three-family system (the nuclear family, the extended
family and institutions such as church and school) that will meet their
need for intimate relationships. Gurian's
arguments {will}
stir
controversy and inspire thought."
