Summary: Great for dads and others!
Comment: I wish all fathers would read this
Rating: 5
Summary: Wow, what a result. Recommended for every father.
Comment: I am a father of a healthy, beautiful, self confident 10-year old girl, in part due to the guidance of this book. I read this book in 1989, when our daughter was one. It's been 9 years of sustained enthusiam, constant "I love yous", attention to every success my daughter has had and reinforcement in those sometimes difficult periods. The result is a self-confident, centered, outgoing and adventursome girl. So far so good. We'll see how the next 8 years develop.

Summary: Why do girls give up on math, chess, and science?
Comment: Marone, a high school math teacher, has done an excellent job of addressing the positive role that fathers have in preparing girls for success in many fields.
The book is also for mothers, teachers, and coaches trying to understand why a sudden shift in interest away from "science subjects" affects so many girls--and what we as adults can do about it.
I'm a scholastic chess coach. (I'm also female, and a successful tournament player.) My elementary clubs run about 50/50 boys and girls. By junior high, the female participation drops to 25% or lower.
None of the books I'd read about social development helped me as a teacher understand why this was occurring and what to do about it. We already had positive role models, a supportive school environment, good early training. We knew the girls COULD play chess--and so did they. The question was, why DIDN'T they?
Marone's book, a gift a friend received for Father's Day, opened my eyes. Although not described as a book for teachers, this book was tremendously helpful to me.
I recommend it to the parents (male and female) of all my students, and to many other teachers as well.
