商品簡介
Including six essays and host of primary documents including letters, diary entries, instructional materials, school newspapers and assignments, and poetry and short stories; Greer (English, U. of Missouri at Kansas City) presents a historical reconstruction of girls literacy in the United States. Dealing with colonial times to the present and occupying nearly half the text, the essays focus on how girls use literacy to situate themselves in societal space. Little effort is made to cover the experiences of all the different societal groups of the country, with the essays instead being offered as a template for further research.
