Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as the source of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages. But how dangerous is pink and pretty, anyway? Being a princess is just make-believe; eventually they grow out of it . . . or do they?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn search of answers, Peggy Orenstein visited Disneyland, trolled American Girl Place, and met parents of beauty-pageant preschoolers tricked out like Vegas showgirls. The stakes turn out to be higher than she ever imagined. From premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable--yet armed with awareness and recognition, parents can effectively counterbalance its influence in their daughters' lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrenstein, Peggy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003ePeggy Orenstein is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of\u003cem\u003e Boys \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDon't Call Me Princess\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGirls \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCinderella Ate My Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWaiting for Daisy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFlux\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSchoolgirls\u003c\/em\u003e.
