Where the MEAN GIRLS Go

We learn as little girls that the measure of our success is popularity rather than being okay with our uniqueness. The laws of the playground have influenced the women we are today and the type of women we form friendships with. Laura shares memorable stories and hard-earned lessons about the often hurtful relationships between women. The book is full of honesty, humility, humor and self-reflection. Women can be very cruel to each other. We have all been left out, not picked, and not invited. We have been the subject of giggling, gossiping and pointing. Mean girls are not solely guilty of the occasional snub or slight, we have all been unkind to another woman, but there is purposeful planning that seems to define mean girls. Mean girls delight in causing discomfort and emotional anguish, and it always is aimed at other women. This book is full of stories, every woman will be able to relate to and learn from. Unfortunately, women's harshest critics are other women. All too often it is women elbowing us, labeling us, and creating obstacles to our success. Boys ignore us, girls score us; it is the playground mindset. An inspiring and honest read, no matter your age.
