Horror, scandal and moral panic The popular fascination with the
moral decline of young women has permeated society for over a
hundred years. Be it flappers, beat girls, dolly birds or ladettes,
public outrage at girls' perceived permissiveness has been a
mass-media staple with each changing generation.
Eminent social historian Carol Dyhouse examines what it really
means and has meant to be a girl growing up in the swirl of
twentieth-century social change in this detailed, factual and
empathetic history. Dyhouse uses studies, interviews, articles and
news items to piece together the story of girlhood, clearly
demonstrating the value of feminism and other liberating cultural
shifts in expanding girls' aspirations and opportunities, in spite
of the negative press that has accompanied these freedoms.
This is a sparkling, panoramic account of the ever-evolving
opportunities and challenges for girls, the new ways they have able
to present and speak up for themselves, and the popular hysteria
that has frequently accompanied their progress.
