Description
The Spice Girls, Tank Girl comic books, Sailor Moon, Courtney Love, Grrl Power: is there really such a thing as "girl culture"? Catherine Driscoll argues that both "girls" and "culture" as ideas are too problematic to fulfill any useful role in theorizing about the emergence of feminine adolescence in popular culture. She relates the increasing public visibility of girls in Western and Westernized cultures to the evolution and expansion of theories about feminine adolescence, in fields such as psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology, history, and
politics. Presenting her argument as a Foucauldian genealogy, with chapters arranged chronologically to
follow a girl's development, Driscoll discusses the ways in which young women have been involved in the
production and consumption of theories about representations of girls, feminine adolescence, and the "girl market."
