More girls are producing media today than at any other point in U. S. history, and they are creating media texts in virtually every format currently possible-magazines, films, musical recordings, and websites. Girls Make media explores how young female media producers have reclaimed and reconfigured girlhood as a site for radical social, cultural, and political agency. Central to the book is an analysis of Riot Grrrl-a 1990sfeminist youth movement from a fusion of punk rock and gender theory-and the girl power movement it inspired. The author also looks at the rise of girls-only media education programs, and the creation of girls' studies. This book will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary female youth in today's media culture. | Girls Make Media by Mary Celeste Kearney, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
