Abstract
Abstract:
Sally Mitchell’s The New Girl: Girls’ Culture in England 1880–1915 (1995) remains a ground-breaking study for nineteenth-century literature and periodicals and for cultural studies of girls and girlhood. This essay situates The New Girl in the growing critical attention to girls and children taking place in the 1980s and 1990s, traces Mitchell’s legacy in recent studies of Victorian and Edwardian girlhood and girls’ periodicals, and concludes with suggestions for future scholarly inquiry.
