The Good Girl Revolution

Elizabeth Nickson of the Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, writes:

"Shalit marshals her evidence with the diligence of a trial lawyer. From hooker-rig-wearing Bratz dolls for four-year-olds, to Abercrombie and Fitch selling thongs to 10-year-olds with "eye candy" and "kiss me" printed on the front, to 12-year-olds listening to Ludacris singing about "ruff sex" ("make it hurt/ in the garden/ in the dirt"), to 13-year-olds telling porn star Jenna Jameson that she is their hero, Shalit makes it clear that for girls, the young world is not a safe harbour, but a Darwinian thrash hunt wherein their degradation is the prize.
...
Shalit does not preach; she merely reports on the pockets of girls who are taking back their innocence and insisting it is not naiveté."
