Addressed to the 17- to 20-year-old woman, but a book parents may wish to read, this frank and up-to-date manual discusses the educational and personal problems facing today's college-age women. While working as a counselor to college students, Jean Henderson was struck by the lack of communication between many young women students and their parents, college administrators, and often their teachers. As a result, college students were counseling each other, sometimes with inaccurate information. In discussing this together, the Hendersons decided that what college women needed was some straightforward accurate information for counseling themselves. Jean Henderson is apparently especially skilled in winning the confidence of young women; Algo Henderson, a member of a prominent center for research and development in higher education, had access to excellent research studies on college students. Together they have written an informative, factual, and valuable book for college women. They cover the personal areas of sex, alcohol, drugs, and identity, and also the academic areasthe disciplines, the curriculum. They discuss traditional subjects, modern subjects, vocations, and educational decisions for the college student. They tell her how her choices can be used ten or twenty years from now. The authors are not only perceptive about what college students want to know, they are also experienced in college administrationbetween them as college teacher, counselor, dean, and president.Henderson, Jean G. is the author of 'Ms. Goes to College ' with ISBN 9780809307135 and ISBN 0809307138.
