Queen Bees and Wannabes[a] is a 2002 self-help book by Rosalind Wiseman. Written for parents of teenage girls, the book focuses on the ways in which girls in high schools form cliques, and on handling patterns of aggressive behavior. The book was, in large part, the basis for the teen comedy film Mean Girls (2004) starring Lindsay Lohan, its stage musical adaptation, and the 2024 film version of the latter.[1] The book's third edition was published in 2016.[2]
