The cover of Wiseman's Queen Bees and Wannabes

Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence is a 2002 book by Rosalind Wiseman. It focuses on the ways in which girls in high schools form cliques, and on patterns of aggressive teen girl behavior and how to deal with them. The book was, in large part, the basis for the movie Mean Girls (2004).

Scenarios described in the book are said to be based on the National Cathedral School. Girls allegedly make "NOT to invite" lists for parties and have an open blog where they can write about whomever and whatever they want.[citation needed]
