The Girls' History and Culture Reader: The Nineteenth Century
provides scholars, instructors, and students with the most
influential essays that have defined the field of American girls'
history and culture. A relatively new and energetic field of
inquiry, girl-centered research is critical for a fuller
understanding of women and gender, a deeper consideration of
childhood and adolescence, and a greater acknowledgment of the
significance of generation as a historical force in American
culture and society. Bringing together work from top scholars of
women and youth, The Girls' History and Culture Reader: The
Nineteenth Century addresses topics ranging from diary writing and
toys to prostitution and slavery. Covering girlhood and the
relationships between girls and women, this pioneering volume
tackles pivotal themes such as education, work, play, sexuality,
consumption, and the body. The reader also illuminates broader
nineteenth-century developments-including urbanization,
industrialization, and immigration--through the often-overlooked
vantage point of girls. As these essays collectively suggest,
nineteenth-century girls wielded relatively little political or
social power but carved out other spaces of self-expression.
Contributors are Carol Devens, Miriam Forman-Brunell, Jane H.
Hunter, Anya Jabour, Anne Scott MacLeod, Susan McCully, Mary Niall
Mitchell, Leslie Paris, Barbara Sicherman, Carroll Smith-Rosenberg,
Christine Stansell, Nancy M. Theriot, and Deborah Gray White.
