For the past several years, child advocates, parents, and educators
have expressed concern over the sexualization of girls. Has the
cultural sexual objectification of girls and women increased? Are
younger and younger girls sold a "sexed-up" version of femininity,
and are adult women sold a girlish sexuality?
The Sexualization of Girls and Girlhood: Causes, Consequences, and
Resistance includes the best empirical research, theory, and
practice stemming from the report of the American Psychological
Association's Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls.
Contributors discuss evidence for this phenomenon from media and
marketing, to interpersonal interaction, to girls' own efforts to
fashion themselves after sexualized role models around them. A
variety of consequences of the sexualization of girls and
girlhood--for girls themselves, for others, and for society at
large--are presented. Individual chapters cover topics such as
athletics as a solution and problem for the sexualization of girls,
sexual harassment by peers, gendered violence, body image,
adolescent girls' sexual development, and healthy sexuality for
girls and young women. Importantly, positive alternatives and
suggestions are included so that those who care for girls can
address this troubling cultural trend and help counter the
significant risk to girls' wellbeing that it represents. This
volume is a valuable resource for child advocates, parents, and
educators and useful for undergraduate and graduate courses that
address gender across disciplines such as psychology, sociology,
anthropology, education, communication, media studies, and women's,
and sexuality studies.
