This book presents the issue of gender bias in a very readable manner. I highly recommend this small, easy to read text for any parent, teacher or individual who has any contact with children. Wonderful examples of reframing available, good references and appendixes. Would make for a good gift for teachers or coaches. Very thought provoking.

This book is a great tool to identify gender bias in any school! I've been substituting in my school district recently and with the tips I found in this book I found many examples of how girls are unconsciously mistreated. This book makes a great gift for parents, students, teachers, and anyone interested in education!

I purchased this book to research for a sociology essay. I found it helpful. It's basically a self-help style book with tons of ways to address sexism, violence, and inequity with kids. I recommend it.

I was issued this book in an education class while in college. If your child is attending public schools it behooves you to know how the teachers are being programmed by the universities. This book is feminist drivel and ridiculous to the point of hilarity. If you want to confuse your children by conditioning them to play in such a way opposite of their natures, and you are out of touch enough with the way children play together, and you want your boys to have long hair and wear skirts (why not? let's be equal!) and your girls to get a flat top, this book is definitely something to stock in your shelf next to your copy of The Communist Manifesto. On the other hand, if you want a good laugh with out of date philosophies, this book will still find a place on your bookshelf, right up there next to The Communist Manifesto.
