Recenzii
Coming from multiple disciplinary perspectives and employing diverse methodologies, the contributors emphasize the girls and young womens strength in creating safe spaces with family, friends, and mentors; claiming their sexuality; and developing personal and public resistance strategies. Taken together, the essays are a valuable contribution to the field of gender studies, urban ethnography, and adolescent development, and would appeal to various readers, including activists and undergraduates.
