Written by a head teacher of a leading independent girls school renowned for creating future female leaders, and who also has a BA from Harvard in Geophysics, flown jets for the US Navy and been a counter-terrorism expert in the White House, this book fills a big gap in the market for parents of girls who want to help them build the skills to succeed and achieve their potential.
The key ingredient to success for girls isn't confidence or resilience, education or courage. What matters most is how all these elements work together in the boldest way possible. This is What Girls Need, now and for the future.
Based on ground-breaking work at the all-girls Baldwin School, renowned for helping girls thrive personally and professionally, and using lessons from the author's own stellar career path in typically male-dominated environments - she has a BA from Harvard in Geophysics, flown jets for the US Navy and been a counter-terrorism expert in Afghanistan and the White House - this is an essential hand-book for all parents of girls - and anyone who cares about girls and what happens to them. It will empower you to help her close the confidence gap with boys, find her voice, nurture her competitive spirit, turn her audacity into persuasion, learn the art and skill of networking, and find role models - all the things that will help her succeed as an adult woman - whatever field they enter, whatever challenge they face.
