商品簡介
This critical survey of film and the modern girl concentrates largely on films of the last two decades, addressing key themes for girls within "coming of age" films, the changing young feminine paradigm, and the ways these films can be powerful determinants of culture. Chapters explore the ways in which girls' films deal with issues of sexuality, race and power; the mainstream limitations of"coming of age" narratives; portayals of girls' experiences within these narratives through such conventions as attitude, fashion, music and dance, and unsanctioned rites of passage; and the negotiation of sex and sexuality, virginity and sexual empowerment.
