- Description
- By combing over the everyday practices of working-class girls in 1920s and 30s England, including a focus on Bermondsey south-east London and oral testimony from women who grew up in the period, the author demonstrates the persistence and ingenuity with which these teenagers gained access to the commercial leisure culture of the day, from hairstyles and fashionable dress to films, music, and dances. She shows how this access had a startling ripple effect, transforming the way young women rehearsed and contested their identities so that play, rather than work, became the primary mechanism for defining subjectivity and constructing femininity.

- Analysis of the manifestations of the 'modern girl', who emerged as a global phenomenon in the 1920s and 1930s. The authors describe how the economic structures and cultural flows that shaped a particular form of femininity crossed national and imperial boundaries, the gendered dynamics of racial formation, and how images and ideas of the 'modern girl' were used to critique nationalist and imperial agendas.

- Description
- Laura Levine Frader’s synthesis of labor history and gender history brings to the fore failures in realizing the French social model of equality for all citizens. Challenging previous scholarship, she argues that the male breadwinner ideal was stronger in France in the interwar years than scholars have typically recognized, and that it had negative consequences for women’s claims to the full benefits of citizenship. She describes how ideas about masculinity, femininity, family, and work affected post–World War I reconstruction, policies designed to address France’s postwar population deficit, and efforts to redefine citizenship in the 1920s and 1930s. She demonstrates that gender divisions and the male breadwinner ideal were reaffirmed through the policies and practices of labor, management, and government. The social model that France implemented in the 1920s and 1930s incorporated fundamental social inequalities.
