Urban girls are marginalized by poverty, ethnic discrimination, and stereotypes suggesting that they have deficits compared to their peers. This book explores the diversity of urban adolescent girls' development and the sources of support and resilience that help them to build the foundations of strength that they need as they enter adulthood.
