Hello lovely readers! In between essay writing, research essay writing, application essay writing, (please don't say the word "edit"), and, um, essay writing...on Friday I'll be reviewing Cinderella Ate My Daughter, by Peggy Orenstein. Yes, this is a non-fiction book (the horror!) about parenting, but it's also a fascinating account of how pink, sparkles, and pretty-pretty-pretty have completely invaded pop culture, with accessible, funny writing and...wait...it's Monday. I also recommend the radio program of Peggy Orenstein discussing Cinderella Ate My Daughter with host Michael Krasny; it's about 50 minutes long, iPod-friendly, and completely worthwhile.
