Not quite the triumph of the 1994 original, but still a very helpful book

The original text was wonderful when it came out, and helped me in understanding the women around me. That same text, if unedited, would be nearly worthless today. The pressures on girls in 2020, and the sources of those pressures, are so different now. So Mary Pipher et al went back to the well, talking with dozens of girls about their experience in an Internet-ruled world with mandatory cell phones. These were one-off interviews in most (all?) cases, so they don’t reflect the long-term trajectories of these girls’ lives, but they suffice to allow an intelligent comparison of girlhood in 1959 (from Pipher’s own experience), 1994 (from the original book), and the modern day.I was struck by how many things have gotten better in the last 25 years. More stable families, less drug and alcohol abuse, fewer eating disorders. And the problems wrought by the Internet are severe, but at least we know where they’re coming from, which gives us a chance to fight them.The original was an easy 5 stars. This revision is more like 4.5 but I’m rounding up.
