  Looking at such figures as Nancy Drew, Judy Graves, Corliss Archer, Gidget, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Britney Spears, this book shows how popular culture has shaped our view of the adolescent girl as an individual who is simultaneously sexualized and infantilized. It explores the intersecting histories of adolescence, and popular culture.
