Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls QUOTES

1 " There is no gesture more devastating than the back turning away. "

― Rachel Simmons , Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls

2 " Girls may try to avoid being alone at all costs, including remaining in an abusive friendship. "

― Rachel Simmons , Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls

3 " What do I mean by this? The fear of being called "all that" and the demonization of girls who appear assertive or self-satisfied force underground the very behaviors girls need to become successful. Confidence and competition are critical tools for success, yet they break the rules of femininity. Openly competitive behavior undermines the "good girl" personality. "
