In honor of Women's History Month, this "Deep Dive" series highlights some of our past interview episodes about raising daughters.

How do we raise our daughters to feel empowered, rather than helpless, in the face of gender bias? Dr. Jo-Ann Finkelstein, PhD, author of book SEXISM AND SENSIBILITY, offers parenting tips to prepare our girls for the modern world.

Dr. Finkelstein, Amy, and Margaret discuss:

  • The limits of the "girl power" line of thinking
  • How to teach girls what is and isn't in their control when it comes to sexism
  • How to recognize and combat sexism in our own parenting
