Strong, Smart, & Bold
by Carla Fine
The pressures a girl experiences growing up today are more intense than ever before. There are gender stereotypes to buck. Narrow expectations to contend with. Conflicting messages to make sense of. A girl is told that it's important to excel in school and pursue a career but that she should also keep her voice down, watch her weight, and make sure that everyone else around her is happy. Strong, Smart, and Bold shows parents and caregivers how to raise a confident, courageous, and self-sufficient girl. Based on the successful approach of Girls Inc., the nation's leading empowerment organization for girls -- which improves the lives of girls through its programs, research, and advocacy -- the book offers proven techniques and compelling success stories to bring out a girl's spirit as early as possible and to give her the self-assurance she needs to thrive in an increasingly complex and pressured world. Strong, Smart, and Bold presents interactive activities that will help equip a girl with the important knowledge, key life skills, and confidence to accomplish her goals. A recent Girls Inc. survey found that girls experience stereotypes that limit: Their right to be themselves and resist gender stereotypes (60 percent) Their right to accept and appreciate their bodies (62 percent) Their right to express themselves with originality and enthusiasm (52 percent) Their right to take risks, strive freely, and take pride in success (50 percent) Their right to have confidence in themselves and to be safe in the world (54 percent) The Girls Inc. Girls' Bill of Rights, which is the foundation of this book, helps a girl understand that she is entitled to be valued and respected at home, at school, and in her community. A dynamic approach to raising a healthy and assured woman, Strong, Smart, and Bold empowers a girl to be her own best advocate and inspires her to discover, hold on to, and be proud of who she is.

Madam De Maintenon and Saint-Cyr
Barnard, H.C
Wakefield: S.R. Publishers Limited. Very Good+/Very Good++. 1971. Reprint. Hardback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0854097023 Signed by Author Signed on front free end paper by H. Clive Barnard and dated July 13th 1971. With frontispiece and 1 other illustration. xi + 240 pages including Appendices and Index. First published by A. & C. Black, London, 1934 and reprinted with their assistance. This book is republished in exact facsimile by photographic process. In the history of European education the 17th century belong peculiarly to France. This volume deals with an educational experiment of much significance and interest at Saint-Cyr. Saint-Cyr in its revised constitution was a convent, although it avoided the restricted outlook of the contemporary conventual school. The spirit of Saint-Cyr was indebted to its foundress, Mme. de Maintenon, who was to the end of her days the controlling influence there, and she left an indelible mark on every department of its life and work. To study Saint-Cyr, therefore, is to study Mme. de Maintenon herself. Red cloth boards with gilt to spine and very slight fading to top and bottom edges of boards. Contents clean. Dust-jacket is in a loose protective cover. A nice copy of a scarce title in Very Good+ condition in a Very Good++ dust-jacket. . ( more information)
