Drs. Barbara Kerr and Robyn McKay tackle what it means to live with, work with, and be a modern smart girl.

They examine bright girls' development, types of intelligence, differences in generations, eminent women, barriers to achievement, education & growing talent, adolescence & college, gifted minority girls & women, twice-exceptionalism, and career guidance.
