46 Responses | Created by smilcuziluvu |

Fezler's essay, The Good Girl Syndrome has come up with a quiz in order for readers to see for themselves, if she too would be considered a "good girl". These questions are based on individual beliefs. "The more of these areas that apply to you, the 'gooder' you are within the context of a male-dominated world," (Fezler 12). The scoring ranges, 0--almost never, 1--sometimes, 2--almost always. Fezler, William. The Good Girl Syndrome. New York: Macmillan Company, 1985. Print.
