Who is the fairest of them all and what does that mean, anyway? What teen hasn't wished that her body were just a little more, well, perfect?

This hands-on workbook shows you how to sift through the powerful messages that society and the media send you about women's bodies and being feminine. Let go of unrealistic standards of perfection and cultivate a positive self-image based on who you are, not how you look. Straight talk about gender stereotypes, the dieting dead-end, eating disorders, what makes a healthy body, and making a difference for other girls.

"It is the norm in our culture for people to dislike their bodies, to fixate on how their bodies keep them from physical perfection, and to enter into an unnecessary and damaging struggle that pits individuals against their own natural size and shape. A Look in the Mirror offers an affirming message that all need to hear, and does so in innovative ways. This book could help many, many people."
