'Girl Power': Girls Reinventing Girlhood examines the identity practices of girls who have grown up in the context of 'girl power' culture. The book 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? To address such questions the authors distinguish between 'girlhood' as a cultural ideal and girls as the embodied agents through which girlhood becomes a social accomplishment. The book identifies significant issues for parents and teachers of girls and offers suggestions for 'critical social literacy' as a classroom practice that recognizes the ways popular culture mediates young people's understanding of gender. 'Girl Power' will be of interest to researchers of contemporary gender identities as well as educational professionals and adult girl advocates. It is relevant for students in gender studies and teacher-education courses as well as graduate student researchers.
