Book Reviews of The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It
Book Review: Great material to discuss with your daughter
Summary: 4 Stars
As a high school teacher who is concerned about the conflicting sexual messages my female students are getting, this book was incredibly helpful. Beyond a thoughtful description of the problem, The Lolita Effect offers practical tips for discussing these issues with girls--and boys--of all ages.
The author does not demonize sexuality, but aims to teach girls to be critical of the media's images of female sexuality. When I see 15-yr-old girls wearing Playboy paraphernalia and thinking it's a symbol of female empowerment, I know something is wrong. This book has given me some tools to address this issue with students and with my own children. A must-read for anyone with a young daughters!
