Disney princesses and the color pink are more popular than ever among young girls across America. Journalist Peggy Orenstein voices her concern about the significance of a retro trend towards the ultra-feminine, the role of the ubiquitous marketing machines that package and promote it and the implications of this change in the culture of girlhood. Orenstein is the author of Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture.
