Wonder of Boys Author Releases Wonder of Girls

Neil Steyskal submitted this USA Today story about Michael Gurian's new book The Wonder of Girls. In the article, Gurian is credited with launching the "Boy Movement" after his previous book, The Wonder of Boys, drew attention to the shortchanging boys get in reading and writing versus the special attention girls get in math and science. In this book, Gurian challenges the gender feminist vision of girlhood: Feminism ignores scientific explanations for young girls' dilemmas, he says, in favor of saying the culture ''socializes'' them. He sums up his central message: ''Female biology has to be more important than feminist ideology.''
