On the one hand, early novels for adolescent girls rely on gender binaries and suggest that girls must accommodate and support a patriarchal framework to be happy. On the other, they provide access to imagined worlds in which teens are at the center. The early girls' book frames female adolescence as an opportunity for productive investment in the self. This is a space where mentors who trust themselves, the education they provide, and the girl's essentially good nature neutralize the girl's own anxieties about maturity. Drawing on best-selling novels in the United States and Germany (where this genre is referred to as Backfischliteratur), Transforming Girls reframes our understanding of the history of the girls' book and provides insightful readings of forgotten bestsellers. It also outlines an alternate model for imagining adolescence and supporting adolescent girls. The awkward adolescent girl-so popular in mid-nineteenth-century fiction for girls-remains a valuable resource for understanding contemporary girls and stories about them"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Conclusion: loving girls, loving growth. $t The romance of othermothering -- $t Converting girls into women -- $t The backfisch and fantasies of growth -- $t The homesick heroine -- $t Conclusion: loving girls, loving growth. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Girls in literature. 650 0 $a Adolescence in literature. 650 0 $a Teenage girls in literature. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction, German $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Daughters in literature. 650 7 $a Adolescence in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797004 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a German literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941797 650 7 $a Girls in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942914 650 7 $a Teenage girls in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145458 650 7 $a Young adult fiction, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183089 650 7 $a Young adult fiction, German. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183106 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pfeiffer, Julie. $t Transforming girls $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2021 $z 9781496836281 $w (DLC) 2021031171 830 0 $a Children's Literature Association series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021740.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230218011043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E985A2E072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
