Throughout the Western world our social fabric is being
transformed, leaving few lives untouched. Girls growing up today
face huge changes in the organization of family, education, and
work.
Growing Up Girl explores the lives of girls who have grown up in
the last decades of the twentieth century and into the
twenty-first. It explores the complexities of class transformation
as young women approach a radically altered labor market and
examines the profound but different regulation to which young women
of all social positions are subjected. Tracing three groups of
girls from their early childhood to young adulthood, the volume
sheds light on the social, cultural, and psychological dynamics
confronting young women today. It highlights the fragility and the
fiction of the "I can have everything" girls, providing a
ground-breaking and sobering antidote to platitudes about a
feminine future. Growing Up Girl is essential reading for all those
concerned with the lives of girls and women today.
