- Description
- 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.
