✦ Synopsis
Developmental issues for African American adolescent girls are best understood using a multiple-lens paradigm inclusive of gender, race, ethnicity, and social class. This article provides a context for assessing the relevance of these socially influenced constructs to identity development for adolescent African American girls. The relationship between the "myth of femininity" and personal worth and value is examined using this paradigm.
