It's a non-fiction book about the effects of the "girlie-girl" culture on young girls. All that pretty pink princess stuff... does it come at a price? (A: Yes.) Topics so far include Disney princesses, American Girl dolls, beauty pageants, Lohan/Spears/Cyrus, superheroes and the differences/similarities between girls and boys.

At times funny and often unsettling, it's been a very interesting read.
I heard an interview with someone about the pink phenomenon. I wonder if it was her, or someone else working in the same field.
