Constructing Female Identities: Meaning Making in an Upper Middle Class Youth Culture is an extraordinary piece of work. Not only does Amira Proweller push our theoretical understanding of identity production in schools, but she adds greatly to our knowledge of what actually happens on a day-to-day basis in a private single-sex high school in the United States, thus filling a distinct void in the literature on schooling, and schooling for young women, in particular. The ethnography is carefully done; the theoretical insights at times dazzling. I strongly recommend this volume to anyone interested in women's education as well as in the ever growing private educational sector in the U.S. - Lois Weis, State University of New York, University at Buffalo
