Going beyond superficial media stereotypes, this volume presents a balanced view of teenage girls. Beyond Appearance reviews and assesses research on girls from a variety of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, searching for commonalities and differences. The contributing authors explore topics at the heart of adolescence, including gender-role prescriptions, body image concerns, relationships with family and peers, sexual decision-making, experiences at school and in the community, and health and safety concerns. A concluding chapter suggests ways of improving the support we give to adolescent girls on their developmental journey.
This softcover edition is a re-release of the 1999 hardcover edition.

Beyond Appearance presents the cutting edge thinking of the best and brightest researchers in this most important arena—the lives of adolescent girls…The contributors take us beyond much of the superficial literature about girls today, probing the depths of true scientific understanding, while remaining practical.
