This book examines the history of female adolescent sexuality in
the United States from the middle of the nineteenth century until
the beginning of the 1960s. The book analyzes both adult
perceptions of female adolescent sexuality and the experiences of
female adolescents themselves. It examines what girls knew (or
thought they knew) about sex at different points in time, girls'
sexual experiences, girls' ideas about love and romance, female
adolescent beauty culture, and the influence of popular culture on
female adolescent sexuality. It also examines the ways in which
adults responded to female adolescent sexuality and the efforts of
adults to either control or encourage girls' interest in sexual
topics, dating, girls' participation in beauty culture, and their
education on sexual topics. The book describes a trajectory along
which female adolescents went from being perceived as inherently
innocent and essentially asexual to being regarded (and feared) as
primarily sexual in nature.
