Spectacular girls : media fascination and celebrity culture / Sarah Projansky. - xiii, 294 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 23 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

As an omnipresent figure of the media landscape, girls are spectacles. They are ubiquitous visual objects on display at which we are incessantly invited to look. Investigating our cultural obsession with both everyday and high-profile celebrity girls, Sarah Projansky uses a queer, anti-racist feminist approach to explore the diversity of girlhoods in contemporary popular culture.
