Secret Gardens, Satanic Mills offers a comparative history of
European girlhood from 1750 to 1960, with a focus on Britain,
France, and Germany. It covers diverse issues in the lives of
girls, from sexuality and leisure to social roles in the family and
the economy. A corrective to historians traditionally male
orientation toward youth, the volume brings girls to the center of
European history, emphasizing their importance in European
economics and culture. It also identifies cultural and temporal
differences within the European experience, particularly with
regard to the spaces girls occupied. While the contributors
appreciate the importance of systemic and institutional factors in
shaping young girls lives, they are also sensitive to the ways in
which girls have been able to resist dominance and create their own
destinies.
The contributors are Kathleen Alaimo, Christina Benninghaus,
Pamela Cox, Clare Crowston, Anna Davin, Andreas Gestrich, Celine
Grasser, Irene Hardach-Pinke, Elizabeth Bright Jones, Clair
Langhamer, Mary Jo Maynes, Carol E. Morgan, Tammy M. Proctor,
Rebecca Rogers, Karin Schmidlechner, Deborah Simonton, Birgitte
Soland, and Mary Lynn Stewart."
