Growing Up Girls: Popular Culture and the Construction of Identity
«‘Growing Up Girls: Popular Culture and the Construction of Identity’ is must reading for anyone who seeks to understand the complex relationship of girls to popular culture. Questions of identity are explored from the perspectives of women of diverse cultures, and in several essays, the girls themselves. What emerges from these very well-written essays are portraits of end-of-the-century femininities that disturb, haunt, and inspire hope in those ready to work with young women for social change.»  (Linda K.
