Haydon "I highly recommend this book for use in the gifted classroom, the homeschooling environment, and as a gift of confidence from parent to child." Dr Maurice D. Fisher Manifesto of the Gifted Girl reaches out to girls and women in all walks of life and in every kind of circumstance. It strengthens, inspires and counsels those are are struggling to find their place in school and society, as well as those who are launching out on their own for the first time. Framed with the voices of the girls themselves, the book is conversational in style and written so that both girls and young women, together with their advocates (parents, older friends, mentors), can gain strength and hope from the messages contained in the book. This is an important book for understanding and supporting gifted girls. Heavily illustrated with images of women and girls in art and history.
