Girls and Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape

This timely resource examines the current state of relationships between young people and its impact on young women. Using anecdotal evidence from interviews with women in their late teens and early 20s and statistical data, the author uncovers a divide between healthy sexual relationships and today’s reality which is unhealthy, confusing, and sometimes harmful sexual relations. Useful as a professional resource for educators and parents, as a source of statistics and information to launch dialogue about relationships and sexual interactions, and as a library resource for individual students to explore. Social considerations noted.
