Young, impetuous and flirtatious, she was an alluring, controversial figure, celebrated in movies, fiction, plays, and the pages of fashion magazines. But, as this book argues, she didn't appear out of nowhere. This spirited history gives us a fresh look at the reality of young women's experiences in America and Britain from the 1890s to the 1920s, when the 'modern' girl emerged.Lost Girls is a story of youth derided and fetishized; of ageing viscerally feared. It is a story of a culture beset by anxiety about adolescent girls. And it is a story of young women trying to shape their own identity amidst contradictory theories of adolescence and sexuality, the politics of suffrage, and popular fiction, theatre, cinema and dance hall crazes. Linda Simon shows us how the modern girl bravely created a culture, a look, and a future of her own. An illuminating history of the iconic flapper as she evolved from a problem to a temptation, and finally, in the 1920s and beyond, to an aspiration. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Young women $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Young women $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 6 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724073857.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214023243.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015736.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024533.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190523010026.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403020522.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A49D8E94E7B011E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
