This is not for every family, as it is self-described as 'grass-root feminist' and sometimes runs articles or columns about "how to tell your parents you're queer", but I think this is a pretty good magazine considering what's out there for girls:
Shameless (http://www.shamelessmag.com)
For girls who get it (that's their motto)
Unless you see yourself as politically and/or socially conservative, you'll probably love this. I'm twice the age of their average reader and will renew my subscription this Summer. The issue I have in hand here (Fall 2005) has articles on "Making the Cut" ("The pressure to be perfect below the belt", an article about labia reconstruction, a topic we've recently discussed here) and a column on why we pluck our eyebrows, another (by a toronto doctor) on the Plan B pill, some "geek chic" column (about computers or something), a crash course in surfing, etc.
I find it totally women-positive. At times it makes me cringe a bit, but much, much less than the fluffy stuff the girls usually get to read.
It's a Canadian mag but they will gladly deliver everywhere!!
And, to me, these chicks kick-@$$.
