Product Description Given the rapidly growing presence of girls online, serious academic inquiry into the relationship between girls and the Internet is imperative. Girl Wide Web is an innovative collection of cutting-edge research exploring a wide sweep of issues related to the ways adolescent girls interact with the Internet. Employing a range of methodologies and theoretical perspectives primarily within cultural studies, the authors examine a variety of topics-from instant messaging and web-diaries to online fan communities and Internet advertising that targets young girls. Taken together, these essays provide a rich portrait of the complex relationship among girls, the Internet, and the negotiation of identity. | ||

A must read for anyone interested in girl culture This is one of the best books I've come across that really assesses how girls are using the Internet - everything from commercial sites, to personal webpages, blogs, and fandom. The overall tone is balanced and hopeful and avoids the media-hype moral-panic that other works tend to attach to young girls online. Gives new insight while also providing a springboard for future research. | ||
