Elektra: Très bon livre. A lire selon moi par tous les parents - de filles comme de garçons. Il n'est pas traduit en français mais l'anglais est plutôt accessible. Une bonne critique sur la manière d'élever les enfants, la segmentation des marchés, la folie princesses et les excès aux US qui risquent de toucher la société Européenne dans un futur proche

og505: This book comes from the perspective of a life-long feminist who is also a mother to a daughter, two roles which are at times difficult to reconcile. This is precisely the reason why Cinderella Ate My Daughter is such an important book. My problem with some feminist books is that they can be a bit abstract and quite theoretical. Orenstein avoids this problem by speaking directly about her own experiences and being frank about the conflicting feelings she feels as a mother and as a feminist. She combines myriad examples with research and her own experiences while providing guidance for mothers who may find themselves in the same Cinderella-dominated world for young girls. This is one of my favourite feminist books and it's definitely changed the way I view gender socialization and the problems that young girls face. Don't be deceived by the deep topic matter: this is very easy to read and I had a hard time putting it down.

Trixie: Part anecdotal, part research and a lot of humor makes this book very enjoyable and informative. I finished it in two days. A book like this was needed, as I'm sure many people have noticed the trend of what can only be described as unnecessary cutesieness and girliness. For some reason now EVERYTHING for girl children must be pink. EVERY toy must be inherently girly, feminine or overly saccharine to be marketed to (and liked) by girls. I'm only in my early 20s and the difference between now and my childhood is already intense.
Orenstein did a lot of research at companies like Disney, American Girl, Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, and Mattel. She visited parents of preschool girls, young girls themselves, went to a Miley Cyrus concert and even child beauty pageants. She also spoke to plenty of experienced professionals who have done plenty of studies on gender, girls, child development and more. Unlike many other well-researched books, this is always entertaining, never dry, and easy to digest, even if the subject matter is troubling.
She poses a lot of interesting subjects surrounding this explosion of the pink princess culture for little girls and how that somehow...

Lisa Faris-McNamara: This book has changed the way I intend to raise my daughter. Mothers today are perpetuating the old stereotypes of women without even knowing it. We buy everything "princess", decorate our daughters bedrooms in pink and dress them in pink & lace. When you think about it, what's so wonderful about the Disney princesses anyway? They don't have female friends, their lives are fairly empty and in most cases pretty awful until, of course, they meet the right man. Look at Snow White...the prince falls in love with her because of the way she looks, dances & sings. Most of the time she's asleep so how can he really fall in love with her when he hasn't had the time to get to know her? How about Cinderella? Her life is so awful yet she never even has a thought about escaping or otherwise helping herself. Instead, she is rescued by a man, who falls in love with her following a single dance. Did you ever notice that every picture of the Disney princesses shows them looking away from one another? They never get together to help one another. How about The Bratz and other dolls for the girl a little older? They too care only about the way they look and what's "cool" but now they have...

VictoriaVictoria: Se molestaron en mandarme un mensaje informandome de que tardaría un poco más, lo que me pareció muy honesto, yo era consciente de que venía de muy lejos e iba a tardar así que no me importaba y esto me pareció un gesto muy amable por su parte.
Honestos con la descripción, el libro está en perfectisímas condiciones.
Nada que objetar.
Muchas gracias!!
