Challenging Issues:
If this magazine were to be challenged, I would go through the selection process with the challenger as well as explain the rationale for the magazine. There are many good qualities in this publication that could be reason to have it in a collection.
Why Read this:
This magazine is a guide for life. There may not always be the best advice in it, but there is enough in it to give girls a foundation to grow on. This magazine is part of a cultural phenomenon so I decided it needed to be added to this collection.
