Abstract:

Abstract In this article, we explore how girls identify and resist the girly-girl, an imaginary white, middle- or upper-class, cis-gendered, able-bodied, and heterosexual abstraction ubiquitous in media representations. She reflects a globalized youth culture that encourages girls to become visibly successful. We ran a series of workshops that allowed girls to engage with girl-centered media and products geared towards them but necessarily created by them. The girls in this study expressed a dislike of the girly-girl and the girl-type leisure activities associated with her. Yet, at times they

Abstract:

Girls’ magazines play an important role in the maintenance of gender perceptions and the creation of gender by young girls. Due to a recent resurgence within public discussion and mediated content of feminist, postfeminist, and antifeminist repertoires, centered on what femininity entails, young girls are growing up in an environment in which conflicting messages are communicated about their gender. To assess, which shared norms and values related to gender are articulated in girl culture and to what extent these post/anti/feminist repertoires are prevalent in the conceptualization of girlhood

Throughout the eighteenth century, scandalous literature perpetuated a strongly male-gendered image of dance spectatorship through its preoccupation with the moral and sexual status of female ballet dancers. The frequency with which authors of scandal sheets, novels, satire and political criticism alluded to liaisons involving elite men and dancers was, in part, a reflection of the period's broader fascination with the status of women on the stage. However, this active preoccupation with the sexuality of dancers was also allied to an interrogation of aristocratic and moral codes in Britain and

From a young age, girls experience many influences that may negatively impact how they view their bodies. Many girls are subject to teasing by peers and feel pressure to conform to gender norms. Moreover, the media perpetuates an unattainable and unrealistic image of women, referred to as the ideal female body. Since peers and the media are prominent influences, researchers have implemented curricula as interventions to help girls navigate perceptions of their bodies in a healthy way. Building on prior research, the GIRL curriculum was developed as a semi-structured, co-created curriculum that

Abstract:

Using Nigerian children in Grades 2 and 6 as subjects, separately 4 boys and 4 girls approached 8 boys on two occasions. This was repeated with 8 girls being approached, resulting in personal space measures for 8 pairs of boys, 8 girl-boy pairs, 8 pairs of girls and 8 boy-girl pairs, for each grade. Significantly greater personal space characterized children in Grade 2 and all children when pairs were of the opposite sex.

Background: Menarche is an important biological milestone in a woman’s life as it marks the onset of the reproductive phase of her life. The average age at menarche is mostly consistent across the populations, that is, between 12 and 13 years of age. Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge on menstruation preparedness and management or due to shyness and embarrassment the situation becomes worse for girl. Menstruation is a natural process but it is still a taboo in Indian society as it is considered unclean and dirty.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 tribal adolescents i

Abstract:

This article explores child marriage in India as a cultural tradition that exists in modern society. Both boys and girls are affected by child marriage, which takes away their childhood. Relationships involving a child under the age of eighteen occur worldwide, although, for the most part, they are found in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Early relationships not only force young girls to accept their domestic and intimate jobs during adolescence but also set them up where they cannot make decisions about their sexual and regenerative well-being. Child marriage is a human violation of fu

Abstract:

This article looks at girls who fight in order to evaluate theories of education for marginalized girls. As oppositional culture and educational resistance theories suggest for boys’ misconduct in school, girl fights are found to be a product of deindustrialization, family expectations, and peer culture. Within peer groups of marginalized students an oppositional culture develops such that girls gain respect from their peers by fighting because they demonstrate a necessary toughness. Girls who fight have a complicated relationship to education. Contrary to oppositional culture theory, these gi

Abstract:

Despite the informed, culturally attuned, active, and robust nature in which Black girls enter into dialectical exchange with one another, their peers, and other adults in schools and communities, Black girls’ critical and political literacies are often minimalized and undervalued. In this paper, I discuss my engagement with two Black girls who participated in Black Girl Politics, a literacy collaborative and curricular intervention designed to explore Black girls’ theorizing about social and political ideas and social change. I outline the girls’ engagement with a multimodal policy project in

Abstract:

We came across the ‘two girls’ version of the children's gender problem nearly 35 years ago. How we came to it we cannot remember, but Martin Gardner had published a variant of it in the Scientific American in 1959. It re-emerged for us in the summer of 2010, following the publication of an article in Science News [1]. Subsequently Keith Devlin wrote about how this re-emergence impacted on him, and noting that ‘Probability Can Bite“ [2]. The mathematics herein reflects and extends that in Devlin's article.In case the reader has not encountered the problem before, we first pose four problems.1.
