"A powerful book about how we can raise girls to become bold,
ambitious women." --Adam Grant What do girls really need to
succeed? Children today face an uncertain future, and parents and
teachers can't fully predict what's in store for their daughter and
sons. But one thing is clear: Our kids need a new set of skills to
succeed. Girls, in particular, must nurture essential traits to
fully flourish. Students hit the ground running today, entering a
school system that carries high expectations on their way to a
college application process that is more demanding than ever. After
school, young women enter a competitive job market, still
complicated by sexism and the possibility of harassment. But the
ways we define leadership are also changing, and the women stepping
into those roles are mapping new paths to inhabiting traits like
grit, resilience, audacity, and self-confidence. What Girls Need
shows how parents and educators can foster these critical
twenty-first-century skills in our girls and help them to recognize
and nurture their inherent strengths-to not just thrive but also
find joy and purpose as they come of age in our ever-evolving
world. As a student at the all-girls Baldwin School outside of
Philadelphia, Marisa Porges grew up in a community designed to
produce strong, independent women. After graduating from Harvard,
she fulfilled her childhood dream of flying jets off aircraft
carriers for the U.S. Navy and served as a counterterrorism expert
in Afghanistan and a cybersecurity advisor in the Obama White
House. Then in 2016, in an unexpected move for someone whose
ambitions had taken her so far from home, Porges returned to head
the Baldwin School. In doing so, she saw how small moments in her
early education gave her the tools she needed to excel in a "man's
world." Combining compelling research, personal stories, and
practical advice on timely questions, Porges delves into hot-button
subjects like how to harness girls' voices and boost girls'
self-esteem, and shows how little things have a big impact when
nurturing vital skills like competitiveness, collaboration,
empathy, and adaptability. What Girls Need empowers us to support
the next generation of women so they can confidently hold their own
no matter what the future has in store.
