Girlhood in America [2 volumes]

An Encyclopedia

By: Miriam Forman-Brunell

Girls used to be second-class citizens. Today they are coming into their own. Still, girlsʼ lives, their experiences and their roles in the social, cultural, economic and political history of the United States have been widely overlooked. This groundbreaking reference work presents more than 100 signed articles by 98 high-profile interdisciplinary scholars, covering girlhood in North American from the first settlements to the present from a multitude of historical perspectives. Readers will find an impressive array of information, research data, scholarly interpretations and observations. Girlhood in America describes how portrayals of girls in childrenʼs literature, magazines, movies, toys, music and other media have deeply influenced girlsʼ perceptions of themselves and examines rites of passage in multicultural contexts. Excerpts from diaries, memoirs and autobiographical novels, along with more than 150 photographs, illustrate girlsʼ subjective experiences throughout history.

Girlhood in America [2 volumes]

An Encyclopedia [2 volumes]

By: Miriam Forman-Brunell

This groundbreaking reference work presents more than 100 articles by 98 high-profile interdisciplinary scholars, covering all aspects of girls' roles in American society, past and present. In this comprehensive, readable, two volume encyclopedia, experts from a variety of disciplines contribute pieces to the puzzle of what it means—and what it has meant over the last 400 years—to be a girl in America. The portrait that emerges reveals deep differences in girls' experiences depending on socioeconomic context, religious and ethnic traditions, family life, schools, institutions, and the messages of consumer and popular culture. Girls have been commodified, idealized, trivialized, eroticized, and shaped by the powerful forces of popular culture, from Little Women to Barbie. Yet girls are also powerful co-creators of the culture that shapes them, often cleverly subverting it to their own purposes. From Pocahantas to punk rockers, girls have been an integral, if overlooked and undervalued, part of American culture.
