She lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. Sara Pipher Gilliam is a writer, editor and global advocate for refugee families, as well as a former Fulbright Scholar and middle school English teacher.

In 1994, Reviving Ophelia was published, and it shone a much-needed spotlight on the problems faced by adolescent girls. The book became iconic and helped to reframe the national conversation about what author Mary Pipher called "a girl-poisoning culture" surrounding adolescents. Fast forward to today, and adolescent girls and the parents, teachers, and counselors who care about them find themselves confronting many of the same challenges Pipher wrote about originally as well as new ones specific to today.
Girls still struggle with misogyny, sexism, and issues of identity and self-esteem. But they're also more isolated than ever before: They don't talk face-to-face to the people around them, including their peers, as they used to: They're texting or on social media for hours at a time. And while girls today are less likely to be in trouble for their drinking or sexual behavior, they have a greater chance of becoming depressed, anxious, or suicidal.
In this revised and updated Reviving Ophelia, Pipher and her daughter, Sara Pipher Gilliam (who was a teenager at the time of the book's original publication), have incorporated these new issues for a 21st-century readership. In addition to examining the impact that social media has on adolescent girls' lives today, Pipher and Gilliam explore the rising and empowering importance of student activism in girls' lives, the wider acceptance of diverse communities among young people, and the growing disparities between urban and rural, rich and poor, and how they can affect young girls' sense of self-worth. With a new foreword and afterword and chapters that explore these topics, this new edition of Reviving Ophelia builds on the relevance of the original as it provides key insights into the challenges and opportunities facing adolescent girls today.
The approach Pipher and Gilliam take in the new edition is just what it was in the original: a timely, readable combination of insightful research and real-world examples that illuminate the challenges young women face and the ways to address them. This updated Reviving Ophelia looks at 21st century adolescent girls through fresh eyes, with insights and ideas that will help new generations of readers.
Very disappointing. Extraordinary list of assertions and opinions without documentation. this is this, this is that, teenagers this, and that. Then we're supposed to read story-like case studies (as rendered by one or both -- its unclear which voice is writing) to document the huge list of assertions made before? I find this book extremely disappointing, after all the hype on public radio.Excellent read for the parents of girls A friend who has a daughter older than mine recommended this book. I was afraid it would be too technical, but the writing style is very accessible. Yes, it does get into some of the psychology of teen girls, but mostly the book contains case studies and examples of what teen girls are facing, what they are thinking, and what types of skills are beneficial in adolescence.I have a daughter who is independent and self-confident, and reading this book made me realize that just because she is this way as a young girl is not a guarantee that she will remain so during her teen years. I hope that with what I have read in this book I can help her maintain that strong sense of self I see in her now.Updated version what every parent of an adolescent girl needs! I grew up in the 80's and Reviving Ophelia was instrumental in helping my mother and I understand how my adolescence differed from hers. It gave us a pathway to communicate better and guide me through an era of high risk behaviors & depression among teenagers.Now, as a 40-something mom of a 10 year old, I voraciously read the revised edition. It provided me with knowledge & insight regarding the culture in which my daughter will come of age. It's easy to read, provides real world perspectives from adolescent girls who are, once again, growing up in a new culture.Everything that was great about the original version is still there along with new analysis & solutions in the age of social media, rising pressures and constant change. I am now equipped with practical solutions and knowledge to prepare myself and, more importantly, have conversations to educate & equip my daughter. Instead of being frightened and confused about what's ahead, I'm hopeful my daughter & I will make it through together.THANK YOU SARA and MARY! This book is a treasure.
