Girls' Series Fiction and American Popular Culture examines the
ways in which young female heroines in American series fiction have
undergone dramatic changes in the past 150 years, changes which
have both reflected and modeled standards of behavior for America's
tweens and teen girls. Though series books are often derided for
lacking in imagination and literary potency, that the majority of
American girls have been exposed to girls' series in some form,
whether through books, television, or other media, suggests that
this genre needs to be studied further and that the development of
the heroines that girls read about have created an impact that is
worthy of a fresh critical lens. Thus, this collection explores how
series books have influenced and shaped popular American culture
and, in doing so, girls' everyday experiences from the mid
nineteenth century until now. The collection interrogates the
cultural work that is performed through the series genre,
contemplating the messages these books relay about subjects
including race, class, gender, education, family, romance, and
friendship, and it examines the trajectory of girl fiction within
such contexts as material culture, geopolitics, socioeconomics, and
feminism.
