In the preface to Reviving Ophelia, Dr. Pipher refers to several other prominent women, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, who share her concerns regarding adolescent girls. She laments the fact that Hillary Rodham Clinton is called a "bitch" just because she is a competent, healthy adult female. Dr. Pipher hopes that famous, powerful women like Hillary Rodham Clinton will act as catalysts for change in the future of popular American culture. She believes that young adolescent women could be empowered by seeing prominent, strong female figures in the media.
