Smart Girls
A New Psychology of Girls, Women, and Giftedness (Revised Edition)
[QUALITY PAPERBACK]
Author(s): Barbara A. Kerr, Ph.D.
This insightful book helps readers understand the obstacles that bright, talented girls often face, and it offers advice for parents and teachers on how to help smart girls succeed in a rapidly changing world. Although most careers these days are open to women, there are still many challenges that gifted girls face as barriers to achievement. Dr. Barbara Kerr, who also co-authored a similar book on the struggles of gifted boys titled Smart Boys (also available on our website), takes an in-depth look at high-ability girls from preschool to college age as they wrestle with issues relating to their giftedness. These issues include problems with relationships and dating, and ultimately with making decisions about marriage and work. Bright young women often wonder whether they can successfully raise a family and still have a challenging career. This book explores those and other important areas of concern for gifted girls and women. Dr. Kerr also presents research on gifted girls, as well as information on the lives of eminent women, the dual challenge of being a minority gifted girl, and how to help girls achieve self-actualization. This is an outstanding book that will allow adults to help the gifted girls in their lives grow and succeed.
