cover image Future girl : young women in the twenty-first century
Anita Harris
Published by Routledge (2004)

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 girlspace, schools, work, aggression, sexuality and power.

Anita Harris is lecturer in Sociology in the School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash Univerty. She is co-editor of the Journal of Intercultural Studies and co-author of Any Which Way You Can: Youth Livelihood, Community Resources and Crime (1997)
