She relates the increasing public visibility of girls in western and westernized cultures to the evolution and expansion of theories about feminine adolescence in fields such as psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology, history, and politics. Presenting her argument as a Foucauldian genealogy, Driscoll discusses the ways in which young women have been involved in the production and consumption of theories and representations of girls, feminine adolescence, and the \"girl market.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Driscoll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231119135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231119139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.02w x 0.81d","brand":"Catherine Driscoll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250435313919,"sku":"9780231119139","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7ab4d1b-d3e5-489d-a7cc-0b3b588d5acf.jpg?v=1729600312","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/girls-catherine-driscoll-9780231119139","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
