Disaster!: A Compendium of Terrorist, Natural and Man-Made Catastrophes Book

Less an "interesting look" and more a "cursory glance" at sexual harassment in schools. It includes some stories from women who were considered the school sluts and have gone on to become strong, independent women, who credit their high-school reputations with their self-assuredness now. Unfortunately, I doubt that's the case for most of the girls saddled with those reputations. Slut! doesn't really cover the main reasons this sort of thing happens, or even why, but it does break the girls into three categories: the promiscuous/sexual girl, the raped girl, and the outsider, and goes into some depth on each of those. An okay read, but if you're interested in the topic, try Fast Girls: Teenage Tribes and the Myth of the Slut [] instead.

Aside: is there a single sociology book where the jacket copy doesn't describe the content as "A groundbreaking look at ______"?
