Faced with a spirited 11-year-old daughter, a concern about what therapists have called a "poisonous" youth culture, and a conviction that parents need powerful tools to help their daughters realize their potential, educator-activist Diana Meehan was disappointed in the schools available.

Abstract	An educator's account of why and how she founded an innovative girls' school. Faced with a spirited 11-year-old daughter, a concern about what therapists have called a "poisonous" youth culture, and a conviction that parents need powerful tools to help their daughters realize their potential, educator-activist Diana Meehan was disappointed in the schools available. So she decided along with two other mothers to create one, based on social science and brain research on how girls learn best. The result, The Archer School in Los Angeles, has in just ten years become a model for girls' schools nationwide. Meehan describes her obstacle-ridden journey to create a new institution to serve girls first and foremost, while laying out what girls need to thrive. She also visits other schools, private and public, to show how single-sex education works, and how every girl can benefit.--From publisher description.
