American Girls and Global Responsibility brings together insights
from Cold War culture studies, girls' studies, and the history of
gender and militarization to shed new light on how age and gender
work together to form categories of citizenship. Jennifer Helgren
argues that a new internationalist girl citizenship took root in
the country in the years following World War II in youth
organizations such as Camp Fire Girls, Girl Scouts, YWCA Y-Teens,
schools, and even magazines like Seventeen. She shows the
particular ways that girls' identities and roles were configured,
and reveals the links between internationalist youth culture,
mainstream U.S. educational goals, and the U.S. government in
creating and marketing that internationalist girl, thus shaping the
girls' sense of responsibilities as citizens.
