Two stories in one: the story of Archer School for Girl's mammoth legal and emotional battle to open, and the story of the ways girls across the world can benefit from an all-girls education. Raising a spirited 11-year old daughter, concerned with the effect of a rampant youth culture, and absorbing her own mother's value upon education for women, Diana Meeham and two other mothers were inspired to create a school--a school for only girls. Entertaining, witty, and eye-opening, Learning Like a Girl explains why co-education doesn't serve girls, and advocates for school's roles in giving girls the tools they need in order to navigate a sexualized, materialistic culture with poise and a fierce independent, intellectual zest for life. 324 pages with index; hardcover with dust jacket.
