Girl Trouble
Girl Trouble: Panic and Progress in the History of Young Women | Carol Dyhouse
3 posts | 4 read | 10 to read
The history of young women is a history of trouble. Arguments about whether girls have been the victims or the beneficiaries of social change have raged through modern history. This sparkling, panoramic social history takes a close look at the anxieties, horror stories and moral unease that have accompanied changes in girls' lives since Victorian times. It shows the importance of disentangling panic from progress if we are to understand the true story of twentieth century girls.

Good. Interesting look at how women have progressed from the 1900's to today and how society has reacted to it. Easy to read and good usage of pictures to work with the story and make the points.

Great read. It was the cover that caught my eye. It's amazing that even today people are still obsessed with how young girls must behave. I suppose it's as the saying goes the more things change the more they stay the same. For example the Daily Mail is still judgemental 😀
