Introduction -- How our bodies work -- How we grow -- How we learn -- How we love -- How we cope -- How we matter.

Learn how to be strong, smart, and spectacular girls. As girls become young women, there are many changes that our bodies, brains and emotions go through, and expectations that need to be met. Using scientific facts, personal anecdotes and wisdom gained from the world around us, Bialik tells you how you grow from a girl to a woman biologically, psychologically and sociologically.

Growing up as a girl in today’s world is no easy task. Juggling family, friends, romantic relationships, social interests and school-- sometimes it feels like you might need to be a superhero to get through it all! But really, all you need is little information. Want to know why your stomach does a flip-flop when you run into your crush in the hallway? Or how the food you put in your body now will affect you in the future? What about the best ways to stop freaking out about your next math test? Using scientific facts, personal anecdotes, and wisdom gained from the world around us, Mayim Bialik, the star of The Big Bang Theory, shares what she has learned from her life and her many years studying neuroscience to tell you how you grow from a girl to a woman biologically, psychologically and sociologically.
