In this volume, contributors examine the girl in the text in order to explore a range of perspectives on girlhood across borders and in relation to their positionality. In literary and transactional texts, girls are presented as heroes who empower themselves and others with lasting effect, as figures of liberating pedagogical practice and educational activism, and as catalysts for discussions of the relationship between desire and ethics. In these varied chapters, a new notion of transnationalism emerges, one rooted not only in the process through which borders between nation-states become more porous, but through which cultural and ethnic imperatives become permeable. 650 0 $a Girls. 650 0 $a Girls in literature. 700 1 $a Smith, Ann, $c PhD in Feminist Literary Theory, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smith, Ann. $t Girl in the text $b First Edition. $d New York : Berghahn Books, [2019] $z 9781789203257 $w (DLC) 2019017333 830 0 $a Transnational girlhoods ; $v volume 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003015332.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3E5F076CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
