By Sarah Blout Rosenberg
The featured players of GIRL POWER include Jasmine, 16, who wants to be a midwife when she grows up; 13 year old Visceria who can't decide if she wants to be a model or a lawyer; and other strong-minded girls, from pre-schoolers to "tweens", who share with us the process of discovering their identities. Who are they now and who do they want to be? How are they impacted by the images of "girl power" they see?
