Tiara Syndrome

‘Tiara Syndrome’ term refers to a female tendency to work hard, to keep her head down and not to push herself forward for reward or recognition. Boys may push themselves forward to see what is happening; they often want to be the center of attention. Girls, however, tend to hold back,, believing that they will get what they deserve (i.e. the tiara) if they work hard, they often do not go out of their way to fight for recognition!
