- Description
- This book examines the identity practices of girls who have grown up in the context of girl power culture.It asks whether and which girls have benefited from this feminist-inspired movement. Can girls truly become anything they want, as suggested by those who claim that the traditional mandate of femininity compliance to male interests is a thing of the past? The authors distinguish between girlhood as a cultural ideal, and girls as the embodied agents through which girlhood becomes a social accomplishment.
