Voices of a Generation draws on the responses of more than 2,000 girls ages 12 to 16 who participated in daylong Sister-to-Sister summits held in 50 locations nationwide in 1998. Girls were asked to identify the major issues and struggles in their lives, to speculate on how their schools could help them, and to talk about what they would like to tell other girls--and what they would like to know from other girls--among other themes. Their responses, gathered from places as diverse as inner-city Detroit, Cobb County, Georgia, and Kallispell, Montana, constitute an intimate, unflinching portrait of girls lives--told in their own terms.

Acknowledgments
Heading the list of people who deserve a generous share of the credit for this report are those who conceived and implemented
AAUW's innovative Sister-to-Sister Summit program, a nationwide series of forums on such issues as pregnancy, violence, and body image. Without the Sister-to-Sister program, this research would not exist.
AAUW's 199799 Program Development Committee played a key role, along with AAUW Educational Foundation Director Karen Sloan Lebovich and former AAUW Educational Foundation Research Director Priscilla Little, in helping to envision Sister-to-Sister. Special thanks to April Osajima, AAUW's associate director for program, and her staff for developing the project and providing extensive technical assistance. Thanks to Jodi Lipson and Lisa Cain in AAUW's Communications Department for their help in promoting the program.
The Sister-to-Sister Summits owe their success to the hard work of scores of dedicated adults and girls in community after community across the country. Sincere thanks to the AAUW branches and states, coalition partners, and funders that hosted Sister-to-Sister Summits in 199798. These branches and states are listed in Appendix B.
The summits that contributed data to this report, cited within the research, deserve special thanks. These summits performed an invaluable service by sharing their results with the Educational Foundation for

use by the broader community of educators, researchers, and others who care about girls.
Once the 199798 summits ended and their data was compiled and analyzed, another phase of the work began.
Professor Michelle Fine of the City University of New York made an invaluable contribution in encouraging the research initially and in crafting the six questions that are the basis of this research report. Thanks also to her student Ronni Greenwood for her help in analyzing this data.
Several interns and girl advisers contributed to the honing of the questions, the processing and analysis of data, and to the editing and production of Voices of a Generation. Thanks especially to Cecelia Friedman and Sarah Morin for their help with the data and to Elisa Genoni-Zercoe for her help in synthesizing and analyzing the Sister-to-Sister ''platforms for action." Thanks to Kelly Gilligan for checking end-note sources and standardizing citations.
Special thanks to our outside readers and advisers, whose keen insights and encouragement strengthened the report: Professor Barrie Thorne of the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, Professor Janie V. Ward of the Wellesley Center for Research on Women, and Professor Lee Ann Bell of the State University of New YorkNew Paltz.
