If you are looking for current, professional advice on the challenging
task of raising a gifted daughter, this may be the only book you’re
going to need. It’s all here: everything from coaching your daughter
to succeed in academics and life, to issues of sociability, shyness,
and insecurity. The back cover captures the essence of the book.
“Noted child psychologist Sylvia Rimm, along with her daughters, a
research psychologist and a pediatric oncology researcher, conducted a
three-year survey of more than a thousand successful women to uncover
what elements of their childhood and adolescence contributed to their
success—and how today’s parents can give their own daughters the same
advantages. Should you encourage your daughter’s competitive streak?
How important are social skills? Does birth order make a difference?
Based on extensive original research, See Jane Win provides invaluable
information distilled from women in nontraditional and traditional
fields, from medicine, science, law, politics, and business, to arts,
education, homemaking, and mental health. Here is informed advice on
helping girls deal with middle-school grade decline; math anxiety;
eating disorders; social insecurity; self-esteem and competitions; the
career/family balance; the glass ceiling, and more.”
See Jane Win is a thoroughly documented and yet readable
encyclopedia of advice on how to raise a successful daughter. If
today’s girls are to become the leaders of tomorrow, and achieve the
success they deserve, they need expert guidance. This book not only
provides it, but backs it up with sound research on more than 1000
girls and women.
