"The Routledge Companion to Girls' Studies is the definitive guide to the international, interdisciplinary, and intersectional field of Girls' Studies, bringing together leading and emerging scholars across a range of academic disciplines to address timely topics on global girls and girlhoods. Spread across four thematic sections, the essays in this collection offer a glimpse into the evolution of the field, directly challenge and move beyond the field's early shortcomings, provide compelling examples of current research, and suggest new directions for future Girls' Studies scholars. Chapters explore the connections between girlhoods and such topics as sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion, education, activism, social-class, ability, gender identity, media representation, and more. The Routledge Companion to Girls' Studies is of value to scholars and students of Gender Studies, Media Studies, Sociology, Education, Health, Literature, Sexuality Studies, Communication, Child & Youth Studies, and more"-- Provided by publisher.
