This reviewer found 'Resilience, Gender, and Success at School' to be fresh and insightful. In particular, the glimpse into the lives of the five girls was a reminder that our students have real struggles that do make a difference in how they deal with school. The book's message is one that educators can't afford to ignore. How many more students could be successful if we took McGinty's research back to our own classrooms? (Kim K. Zach, American Secondary Education) Sue McGinty ably researched in depth the lives of five young high school women who by all rights should have been part of their school's statistics of failure. They were not. Each, in her own way, learned how to succeed. From their success, their 'winning' against the odds, Sue McGinty draws lessons and insights of benefit to everyone who believes that no student ever should be written off. (Alan Peshkin, Stanford University, California)
