Have you ever been told that you're too girlish or too boyish? We
are all potential targets of the gender police, some more so than
others. And how did you respond? Did you hide or change or rebel or
hurt or gleefully celebrate your style? Tomboys and Other Gender
Heroes is a study that brings together gender stories from
approximately 600 children and youth. Set in both urban and rural
contexts, these young people show how their schools and communities
respond to their bodies, passions, and imaginations. As one
13-year-old student expresses, "My flowered jeans make me feel
happy because they represent the sort of feminine side to me and at
the same time show my masculine side. They also make me feel like
I'm a part of a large force that stands up to bullying and
criticism, to express themselves and to show the world that our
lives have meaning." In this book, student writings are framed by
teaching strategies and gender theory, featuring themes of sports,
film, media, landscape, joyfulness, and gender creativity. The
research will be of great interest to university students in the
fields of education, gender, sexuality and women's studies,
sociology, social work, psychology, counseling, and child
development. This book is ideal for teachers, professors, parents,
and community members who hope to create accepting environments for
gender diversity.
