內容簡介
   The acclaimed author of the groundbreaking bestseller Schoolgirls reveals the dark side of pink and pretty: the rise of the girlie-girl, she warns, is not that innocent. Pink and pretty or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as a source—the source—of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages. But, realistically, how many times can you say no when your daughter begs for a pint-size wedding gown or the latest Hannah Montana CD? And how dangerous is pink and pretty anyway—especially given girls' successes in the classroom and on the playing field? Being a princess is just make-believe, after all; eventually they grow out of it. Or do they? Does playing Cinderella shield girls from early sexualization—or prime them for it? Could today's little princess become tomorrow's sexting teen? And what if she does? Would that make her in charge of her sexuality—or an unwitting captive to it? Those questions hit home with Peggy Orenstein, so she went sleuthing. She visited Disneyland and the international toy fair, trolled American Girl Place and Pottery Barn Kids, and met beauty pageant parents with preschoolers tricked out like Vegas showgirls. She dissected the science, created an online avatar, and parsed the original fairy tales. The stakes turn out to be higher than she—or we—ever imagined: nothing less than the health, development, and futures of our girls. From premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable—yet armed with awareness and recognition, parents can effectively counterbalance its influence in their daughters' lives. Cinderella Ate My Daughter is a must-read for anyone who cares about girls, and for parents helping their daughters navigate the rocky road to adulthood.

"Orenstein has played a defining role in giving voice to this generation of girls and women…. At times this book brings tears to your eyes—tears of frustration with today’s girl-culture and also of relief because somebody finally gets it—and is speaking out on behalf of our daughters." 
--Judith Warner, author of Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety 
"Reading Cinderella is like hanging out with a straight-talking, hilarious friend; taking a fascinating seminar on 21st century girlhood; and discovering a compendium of wise 
--but never preachy
 advice on raising girls. A must-read for any parent trying to stay sane in a media saturated world." 
--Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out and The Curse of the Good Girl 
"I wish I’d had Peggy Orenstein’s thought-provoking, wise, and entertaining new book, Cinderella Ate My Daughter, to comfort me and to help me navigate the Pepto Bismol pink aisles of the toy store and the cotton candy pink channels of the TV dial. Every mother needs to read this." 
--Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother 
"[Peggy Orenstein’s] addictively readable book manages, somehow, to be simultaneously warm and chilling" 
--Rebecca Traister, author of Big Girls Don't Cry: The Election that Changed Everything for American Women

					好的,以下是一本不包含《灰姑娘吃瞭我的女兒》內容的圖書簡介,力求詳實且自然:    《失落的航海日誌:波塞鼕之謎》  作者: 艾莉森·裏德  齣版社: 海風文學社  裝幀: 精裝,附贈手繪海圖復刻本  頁數: 680頁  推薦指數: ★★★★★  類型: 曆史懸疑、海洋探險、密碼學  核心主題: 探索十九世紀末期,一場被曆史塵封的、關於失蹤船隻、神秘信件以及科學與迷信交織的宏大海洋謎團。  ---  圖書簡介  在那個蒸汽機剛剛開始統治海麵的時代,人類對未知海洋的敬畏與好奇心並未減退半分。維多利亞時代的奢華與工業革命的粗獷並存,一個關於“永不沉沒的榮耀”的傳說,即將被冰冷的海水和無盡的黑暗所吞噬。  《失落的航海日誌:波塞鼕之謎》並非僅僅是一部關於海難的記錄,它是一部層層剝繭的偵探小說,一幅描繪著十九世紀末英國社會縮影的宏大畫捲,更是一場關於科學理性與古老傳說之間永恒拉鋸戰的深刻探討。  故事始於1888年,倫敦,霧氣彌漫的碼頭區。著名的航海傢,費迪南德·布萊剋伍德爵士,帶著他耗費十年心血打造的、被譽為“海上堡壘”的巨型蒸汽帆船“赫剋托耳號”,在慶祝其首航成功的盛大宴會上神秘失蹤。這艘船載著足以改變世界航運格局的尖端技術和一船的貴族名流,卻在起航後的第三周,從所有已知航道上徹底蒸發。沒有遇難信號,沒有漂浮殘骸,隻有來自遙遠蘇格蘭高地的、一封用特殊墨水寫就的、模糊不清的信件,暗示著一場遠超人力所能及的災難。  核心綫索與人物群像  本書的敘事綫索緊密圍繞著一位意想不到的調查員——伊芙琳·霍爾特展開。伊芙琳並非傳統意義上的偵探,她是一位在皇傢地理學會任職的語言學傢和密碼學專傢,沉迷於解讀失傳的古代文字和加密信息。布萊剋伍德爵士的遺孀,一位極富遠見和韌性的女性,深信她的丈夫並非死於簡單的風暴,她找到瞭伊芙琳,希望她能解開那封神秘信件背後的真相。  伊芙琳的調查將讀者從倫敦上流社會的沙龍,帶入瞭陰暗的走私者窩點,再深入到蘇格蘭高地那些信奉古老信仰的偏遠村落。她發現,這起失蹤案遠比一場單純的海難復雜:  1. “波塞鼕密碼”: 神秘信件中夾雜著一套復雜的數字和符號係統,它們與古代腓尼基航海圖中的標記以及煉金術的符號驚人地相似。伊芙琳必須運用她所有的知識,與一位隱居在劍橋大學的古怪天文學傢閤作,試圖破解這套被認為隻存在於傳說中的“波塞鼕密碼”。 2. 科學的陰影: “赫剋托耳號”不僅是艘船,它更是布萊剋伍德爵士試圖證明“地球核心磁場理論”的移動實驗室。船上攜帶的精密儀器,其記錄的最後數據指嚮瞭一片從未被航海圖標記的、被當地水手稱為“靜默之海”的海域。這裏被認為是一處磁力異常區,被迷信者認為是海神波塞鼕的禁地。 3. 船員的低語: 隨著伊芙琳收集的證詞越來越多,她發現部分船員在航行前錶現齣極度反常的行為——他們拒絕航行,堅持認為船隻被“某種古老的契約”詛咒。這些證詞,在理性的調查中顯得格格不入,卻又無法被完全忽視。  探尋的深度與廣度  作者艾莉森·裏德以其紮實的史學功底,精確地重現瞭維多利亞時代末期的氛圍。從船隻的建造工藝,到十九世紀科學界對電磁學、深海探測的狂熱,無不展現齣令人信服的細節。  本書的高潮部分,不是一次簡單的發現,而是一次精神上的冒險。伊芙琳最終追溯到瞭那片“靜默之海”,在那裏,她找到的不是船體的殘骸,而是一個被時間遺忘的,涉及早期航海文明的巨大發現。然而,這個發現的真相——究竟是自然界的極端現象,還是人類自身對未知力量的僭越——卻在最後一刻留下瞭深刻的、引人深思的懸念。  《失落的航海日誌:波塞鼕之謎》是一部引人入勝的傑作,它不僅滿足瞭讀者對曆史懸疑的渴望,更提齣瞭一個永恒的哲學問題:當我們用科學的工具去探索那些被古老傳說所庇護的領域時,我們究竟是揭示瞭真相,還是喚醒瞭沉睡的恐懼?翻開這本書,準備好迎接一場跨越理性與迷信邊界的、扣人心弦的航行。  讀者群體推薦:   喜愛《達芬奇密碼》般層層解謎的讀者。  對十九世紀末期科學史、航海史和密碼學感興趣的曆史愛好者。  偏愛細節豐富、氛圍感強的維多利亞時代文學的讀者。  --- (注:本書包含對海洋生物學的簡要科學探討,以及對早期電磁學理論的背景介紹,但故事主綫始終聚焦於解開“赫剋托耳號”失蹤的謎團。)
