Book Description
In the 1990's, child psychologist Sylvia Rimm and her daughters surveyed more than 1,000 satisfied, successful women. Their goal was to "identify the essential childhood elements that encouraged these women to achieve fulfilling careers" so other parents could give their daughters the same advantages. Their findings were published in See Jane Win, a New york Times best-seller. See Jane Win teaches parents how to help their daughters. SEE JANE WIN FOR GIRLS teaches daughters how to help themselves. The comments and experiences of successful women inspire young readers; practical advice helps them make positive changes and choices. Girls learn to win in all areas of their lives, from family and friends to school and learning, motivation, character development, and more. Includes quizzes and resources.

Good self-esteem builder for young girls... May 28, 2003
Carolyn K. (Hoagies' Gifted Education Page)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
A fun-and-valuable read for girls in upper elementary or middle school, Rimm's See Jane Win for Girls is a self-esteem boosting, self-discovery book that girls enjoy. My 12-year-old daughter enjoyed reading this book to reveiw with me, and she was smiling often, and even laughed out loud.From Brainpower to Social Smarts (or not!), continuing to tough topics including When Things Change (moving, new school, divorce, etc.) and Family (anger, parents, siblings, and more), Rimm talks about many of the everyday and extraordinary issues facing smart girls today, and offers introspection and ideas for dealing with them, and growing from them. See Jane Win for Girls is mixed with quotes and questions from young girls, quotes from grown-up girls, and inventories and tips to make the book even more personal for your smart girl. I'd recommend this book for all gifted young girls, before, during and after those difficult middle school years.

This truly is a wonderful book, full of encouragement for young girls everywhere.
Written in a way that is both entertaining and also with great insight, it's sure to catch any
young readers eye.
I found myself smiling, shaking my head in agreement and truly enjoyed the "I Can" sections.
Tips on self-esteem, improving your social
skills,help with your family, dealing with changes, it's all there.
This is an outstanding book for the entire family to share! Also interactive with the reader, which is always a plus!
Very good read!

Dr. Rimm has done a fantastic job of translating her findings from her research for See Jane Win and How Jane Won into a format that girls can appreciate and relate to. I plan to give this to my niece and any other girls who can use it.--Catherine Dee, author of The Girls' Book of Success (2003)
