This book examines school and college fiction for girls in Britain
and the United States, written in the first half of the twentieth
century, to explore the formation and ideologies of feminine
identity. Nancy G. Rosoff and Stephanie Spencer develop a
transnational framework that recognises how both constructed and
essential femininities transcend national boundaries. The book
discusses the significance and performance of female friendship
across time and place, which is central to the development of the
genre, and how it functioned as an important means of informal
education. Stories by Jessie Graham Flower, Pauline Lester, Alice
Ross Colver, Elinor Brent-Dyer, and Dorita Fairlie Bruce are set
within their historical context and then used to explore aspects of
sociability, authority, responsibility, domesticity, and
possibility. The distinctiveness of this book stems from the
historical analysis of these sources, which have so far primarily
been treated by literary scholars within their national context.
Winner of the History of Education Society Anne Bloomfield Prize
