- Description
- From the days of the penny press to the contemporary world of social media, journalistic accounts of teen girls in trouble have been a mainstay of the U.S. news media. Often the stories represent these girls as either victims or whores, using news-gathering practices that question girls' ability to perform femininity properly, especially as they act in public recreational space. This book takes a look at working-class girls in dance halls of the early 1900s: girls' track and field teams in the 1920s to 1940s: Elvis Presley fans in the mid-1950s: punk rockers in the late 1970s and early 1980s: and girls using the Internet in the early twenty-first century. In each case, issues of gender, socioeconomic status, and race are explored within their historical context. The book argues that by marginalizing and stereotyping teen girls over the past century, mass media have perpetuated a pattern of gendered crisis that ultimately limits the cultural and political power of the young women it covers.

- Description
- America today is a hypersexual society. Sexual discourse, erotica, and pornography are pervasive in the culture. Sexual materials, many times extending into erotica and pornography, are found in the consumer world, academia, sex therapy, the publishing world, mass media and the Internet. The sexual materials found in all these areas of American society provoke opposition by groups and individuals who want to repress or censor sexual materials. The combined effects of those who promote and produce sexual materials, and those who try to suppress them, add up to a cacophony of sexual discourse.
