Feminism and youth culture (Second edition)

In this new edition of Feminism and Youth Culture , Angela McRobbie explores further the cultural life of young women and girls.

Her analysis illuminates broad questions of interest to readers on both sides of the Atlantic: the politics of feminist research, the relations of class and gender, the commodification of girls through such magazines as Elle , and the material lives of teenage mothers.

For the second edition she has added several recent pieces, as well as a new introduction which considers how British women's lives have changed in the past twenty years.

This edition also contains some of her earlier Birmingham School work, as well as what she has written with Sarah Thornton and with music critic Simon Frith.
