Across the British Empire and the world, the 1920s and 1930s were a
time of unprecedented social and cultural change. Girls and young
women were at the heart of many of these shifts. Out of this
milieu, the Girl Guide movement emerged as a response to modern
concerns about gender, race, class, and social instability. In this
book, Kristine Alexander analyzes the ways in which Guiding sought
to mould young people in England, Canada, and India. It is a
fascinating account that connects the histories of girlhood,
internationalism, and empire, while asking how girls and young
women understood and responded to Guiding's attempts to lead them
toward a "useful" feminine future.
