Peggy Orenstein never expected to become a reluctant warrior in the battle against the princess industrial complex. But as her young daughter became swept up in a media-fueled fantasy of frills and adoration, Orenstein knew she had to take a stand. Cinderella Ate My Daughter is her no-holds-barred exploration of the girlie-girl phenomenon - and a rallying cry for parents to think critically about the values they're instilling in the next generation of women.
