      abstract = {An educator's account of why and how she founded an  innovative girls' school. Faced with a spirited 11-year-old  daughter, a concern about what therapists have called a  "poisonous" youth culture, and a conviction that parents  need powerful tools to help their daughters realize their  potential, educator-activist Diana Meehan was disappointed  in the schools available. So she decided along with two  other mothers to create one, based on social science and  brain research on how girls learn best. The result, The  Archer School in Los Angeles, has in just ten years become  a model for girls' schools nationwide. Meehan describes her  obstacle-ridden journey to create a new institution to  serve girls first and foremost, while laying out what girls  need to thrive. She also visits other schools, private and  public, to show how single-sex education works, and how  every girl can benefit.--From publisher description.},
