Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:More girls are producing media today than at any other point in history, and they are using virtually every format currently possible to do so. Tracing the sites in U.S. society where girls' media production is currently encouraged and supported, "Girls Make Media" examines girls' creative expression and identity exploration through the films, zines, and websites they produce. Combining analyses of girl-made media and the communities and social contexts that inspire their creation and facilitate their diffusion, "Girls Make Media" furthers our understanding of not only contemporary girlhood and girls' culture, but also American popular culture. Synopsis: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 1990s feminist 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.
