The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence

In 2009, Rachel published The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence, the result of years of working with middle and high school girls at the Girls Leadership Institute she founded. Rachel argues that girls are pressured to embrace a version of selfhood that sharply curtails their power and potential. The Curse of the Good Girl is filled with original strategies and exercises that promote authenticity, integrity and personal authority in girls.

To celebrate the book’s release, Rachel will be giving back-to-school empowerment sessions for girls and adults around the country. Visit her Book Tour page to see if she’ll be visiting your city! Read more about The Curse of the Good Girl…
