Drawing on a dynamic set of "graphic texts of girlhood," Elizabeth
Marshall identifies the locations, cultural practices, and
representational strategies through which schoolgirls experience
real and metaphorical violence. How is the schoolgirl made legible
through violence in graphic texts of girlhood? What knowledge about
girlhood and violence are under erasure within mainstream images
and scripts about the schoolgirl? In what ways has the schoolgirl
been pictured in graphic narratives to communicate feminist
knowledge, represent trauma, and/or testify about social violence?
Graphic Girlhoods focuses on these questions to make visible and
ultimately question how sexism, racism and other forms of
structural violence inform education and girlhood. From picture
books about mean girls like The Recess Queen or graphic novels like
Jane, The Fox and Me to Ronald Searle's ghastly pupils in the St.
Trinian's cartoons to graphic memoirs about schooling by adult
women, such as Ruby Bridges's Through My Eyes and Lynda Barry's One
Hundred Demons texts for and about the schoolgirl stake a claim in
ongoing debates about gender and education.
