About Helene

Adolescent girls have more opportunities than ever before. But for all their apparent power, is this really the era of the girl?

To find out view Proud To Be a Girl, a new half-hour documentary that focuses on three diverse, talented young women as they explore the dilemma of the modern girl. Leading psychologist, Carol Gilligan, and actress/mother, Julianne Moore, provide advice and expertise. Helene Lerner is the program's host.

Profiled are: Ashlie Butler, a talented dancer and actress, one of a small number of African-Americans attending a prestigious private school; Lauren Hermes, a child of divorced parents and a second mother to her younger siblings; and Miranda Oropeza, a singer-songwriter whose ethnic background—Mexican-American-French-Italian—has given her a unique perspective on how to define herself.

Proud To Be a Girl looks at a range of issues facing girls today, including the need to find a creative means of self-expression, the power of friendship and collaboration, the problems of racism and prejudice, and the pull between girlhood and womanhood.
