Review:
A powerful, hilarious, and heart-warming collection of some of today's successful women. -- Indy's Child
Great for granddaughters. The Girls' Book of Wisdom features quotes from a dynamic group of intelligent women. Each idea has something positive to offer girls. I intend to send a copy to each of my granddaughters. -- Ann Richards, former governor of Texas

This page turner is packed with pro-girl quotes. Feeling shy? Flip to the "Confidence" chapter and digest this advice: "Repeat an ego-boosting mantra to yourself: I rule, I rule, I rule." -- Marisa Sandora, Twist magazine, May 2000
What I liked about this book was the quotes -- how they are so real.You think youre alone on something, then you read this and are like, wow, everyone really does go through this!

A treasure trove of women's wisdom selected just for girls
When women come together in one place to share their experiences, their dreams and wisdom, a very special resonance -- a powerful energy -- is created. --Marion Woodman, psychologist
When women come together in one place to share their experiences, their dreams and wisdom, a very special resonance -- a powerful energy -- is created. --Marion Woodman, psychologist
What if you could assemble hundreds of wise, accomplished women and girls, and listen to them share their favorite pearls of wisdom?
With The Girls' Book of Wisdom, you can. It brings together more than 400 smart, successful individuals -- young and old, famous and ordinary, from the past and the present. They're scientists, business executives, writers, mothers, world leaders, actors, and athletes. Their thoughts and suggestions range from basic to brilliant, and encouraging to exceptionally empowering.
My goal in editing The Girls' Book of Wisdom was to create a collection of quotes that could help any girl become more confident, feel better about her body, and learn and apply the secrets of a happy, successful life. The more than 500 quotes reveal women's and girls' personal success secrets and tell how to adopt the right attitude, overcome obstacles, make the most of disappointing situations, develop strong relationships, and more.
I would have loved reading this book when I was growing up. If you're a preteen or teen who receives it as a gift, I hope you'll find it a big help with whatever you're going through, whether at home, at school, or in your community. If you're a mom or dad, aunt or uncle, counselor, teacher, or other caring adult, I wholeheartedly recommend this book for the special girl(s) in your life!
