UNIQUE METHODOLOGY: Zaslow makes an important contribution to the field by taking an ethnographic approach to girls’ studies, focusing on the actual voices of young women themselves, and how they negotiate the principles of cultural and media discourse with the social, political, and economic realities of their livesHOT TOPIC: Girls’ studies is a rapidly growing field and this is a welcome addition to the scholarship. Zaslow’s subject sample is diverse, and she adds to the debate by addressing the social processes at work as girls form their gendered identities – most scholarship focuses primarily on the “texts” themselvesMULTIDISCIPLINARY: Zaslow works from the angle of communication and media scholarship, taking into account the role of the audience and how “texts” interact with their social and cultural frameworks as she tackles more general feminist dialogue”

Beschreibung

Drawing on extensive research with a diverse group of seventy teen girls, Zaslow offers a critical account of the girl power moment in which feminism and femininity are shrink-wrapped together in one market-friendly package. With a focus on pop-music and television, Zaslow skillfully explores the negotiative processes of teen girls as they make sense of girl power's new cultural narratives of femininity as well as its failure to offer strategies for real social change.  Written in highly accessible language, this book charts new territory as it offers a rich account of the ways in which teen girls understand style, sexuality, motherhood, and feminism in girl power media culture, and how their desires, social experiences, and imaginings of the future are shaped in their relationship with a neoliberal girl power discourse.
