Blue Jean: What Young Women are Thinking, Saying, and Doing. Handel, Sherry. Chestnut Hill, MA. New Generation Media, Inc.

In a world full of beauty magazines and other superficial publications Blue Jean: What Young Women are Thinking, Saying, and Doing is refreshing. Blue Jean allows teenage girls to read about significant issues, not just what shade is in for the season. This anthology starts with a bang, and influences readers to get out and actually do something. Blue Jean goes beyond simply telling, it encourages activism - not just dreaming - doing.
