Revisiting figures like G. Stanley Hall and Margaret Mead and casting her net across the disciplines of biology, psychology, and anthropology, DeLuzio examines the process by which youthful femininity in America became a contested cultural category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging accepted views that professionals \"invented\" adolescence during this period to understand the typical experiences of white middle-class boys, DeLuzio shows how early attempts to reconcile that conceptual category with \"femininity\" not only shaped the social science of young women but also forced child development experts and others to reconsider the idea of adolescence itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeLuzio's provocative work permits a fuller understanding of how adolescence emerged as a \"crisis\" in female development and offers insight into why female adolescence remains a social and cultural preoccupation even today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Crista Deluzio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801886996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801886997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.47w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 149","brand":"Crista Deluzio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086873112831,"sku":"9780801886997","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b7a1303-70bd-43ec-a74f-66fccab1a005.jpg?v=1769097097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/female-adolescence-in-american-scientific-crista-deluzio-9780801886997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
