Provocative... This fabulously educational and informative book should be required reading for all teens.
Does for young girls what Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth did for their mothers. Written in an upbeat engaging style.

Über Basil Howitt
Talked out of becoming a professional musician when he left Cambridge University in 1963, Basil Howitt pursued a successful career in academia for 15 years. At the age of 38, Howitt finally hit the road as a freelance cellist, working with many orchestras and ensembles.
Writing is Howitt's third career, which he began with a series of lighthearted pieces on the freelance lifestyle for Classical Music magazine. These led to his enthusiastically received first book Life in a Penguin Suit, published by the Manchester Camerata. At the same time he began steeping himself in the lives of the great composers for his popular pre-concert talks in Manchester UK, discovering that his audiences were sometimes more fascinated by noggins and nookie than ninth-cords and natural harmonics.
Howitt has also written for The Guardian, The Sunday Times and Private Eye.
