Urban Girls , published in 1996, was one of the first volumes to showcase the lives of girls growing up in contexts of urban poverty and sometimes racism and violence. It spoke directly to young women who, often for the first time, were seeing their own stories and those of their friends explained in the materials they were asked to read.

Urban Girls Revisited explores the diversity of urban adolescent girls' development and the sources of support and resilience that help them
