lead section, copyediting and notability

[edit]

I have expanded the Lead section, undertaken some copyediting and, based on the research I did, believe this article is notable and should remain. --Soulparadox 21:31, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes it seems to meet notability criteria with no difficulty. I wonder if the list of case studies is useful, though? Rich Farmbrough, 02:18, 22 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]

A great hole in Wikipedia coverage

[edit]

It is hard to believe that this enormously influential and hotly debated book has no article yet. I am no admirer of the book, its conclusions or its methodology, but no single book equally affected American educational practice in the last twenty five years. The whole idea of girls as victims, as drowning Ophelias who must be revived and protected, altered American life, and eventually American law. A whole library of books has been written for and against Pipher's ideas (and, most recently, her continued refusal to produce the research on which she based them.)Profhum (talk) 05:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a section on religion?

[edit]

I read this book quite a while ago when it was still fairly new and identified with many aspects of it compared to my life growing up. It hit many of my nails on the head and was very impactful in my life. One thing I felt as a teenager was that God had a "special plan" for me, over that of other people. I remember the book mentioning that most religious girls shared the same belief. It was a true moment of realization for me that led to my eventual rejection of organized religion. I not longer have the book, though. Was there a section covering religion or was this discussion a part of a particular case study? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 17:56, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this article have dictionary links?

[edit]

I cannot understand how things like the definition of 'amicable' are thought to be so relevant to this article that they merit being linked. Does anyone else know? Other articles that could plausibly be relevant to young readers, such as Percy Jackson, don't contain these sorts of dictionary links. Ilzolende (talk) 00:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
