This book explores the circulation and reception of popular
discourses of achieving girlhood, and the ways in which girls
themselves participate in such circulation. It examines the figure
of the achieving girl within wider discourses of neoliberal
self-management and post-feminist possibility, considering the
tensions involved in being both successful and successfully
feminine and the strategies and negotiations girls undertake to
manage these tensions. The work is grounded in an understanding of
media, educational, and peer contexts for the production of the
successful girl. It traces narratives across school, television and
online in texts produced for and by girls, drawing on interviews
with girls in schools, online forum participation (within the
purpose-built site www.smartgirls.tv), and girls' discussions of a
range of teen dramas.
