520    "Thinking outside the girl box is a true story about a 
       remarkable youth development program in rural West 
       Virginia. Based on years of research with adolescent girls
       -- and adults who devoted their lives to working with them
       -- Thinking Outside the Girl Box reveals what is possible 
       when young people are challenged to build on their 
       strengths, speak and be heard, and engage critically with 
       their world. Based on twelve years of field research, the 
       book traces the life of the Lincoln County Girls' 
       Resiliency Program (GRP), a grassroots, community 
       nonprofit aimed at helping girls identify strengths, 
       become active decision makers, and advocate for social 
       change. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the GRP 
       flourished. Its accomplishments were remarkable: girls 
       recorded their own CDs, published poetry, conducted action
       research, opened a coffeehouse, performed an original play,
       and held political rallies at West Virginia's State 
       Capitol. The organization won national awards, and funding
       flowed in. Today, in 2013, the programming and 
       organization are virtually nonexistent. Thinking Outside 
       the Girl Box raises pointed questions about how to define 
       effectiveness and success in community-based programs and 
       provides practical insights for anyone working with youth.
       Written in an accessible, engaging style and drawing on 
       collaborative ethnographic research that the girls 
       themselves helped conduct, the book tells the story of an 
       innovative program determined to challenge the small, 
       disempowering "boxes" girls and women are so often 
       expected to live in"--Provided by publisher.
