About this book

Is there such a thing as a distinct girl culture? Catherine Driscoll takes up that question through examples from pop music, comics and anime, and through figures such as Courtney Love.

The book first traces a history of the idea of girlhood, or feminine adolescence, and then argues that both 'girls' and 'culture' are too loaded to serve as useful tools for theory. The aim is to examine how feminine adolescence came to appear in popular culture.
