We often miss the subtle signs of girls’ aggression—the dirty looks, gossiping and exclusion. This form of “alternate aggression” is as prevalent as it is damaging. In Odd Girl Out, bestselling author Rachel Simmons examines the hidden and often overlooked culture of girl’s indirect aggression across the country. Inspired by her own experiences with bullying, Simmons interviews 300 girls in 10 schools along with 50 adult women who have experienced “alternate aggression.” Through her research Simmons is able to offer an insightful perspective of girls' bullying and the motives behind it.
