Book description
Anita Harris creates a realistic portrait of the "new girl" that has appeared in the twenty-first century-- she may still play with Barbie, but she is also likely to play soccer or basketball, be assertive and may even be sexually aware, if not active. Building on this new definition, Harris explores the many key areas central to the lives of girls from a global perspective, such as girl-space, schools, work, aggression, sexuality and power.
