      abstract = {This book examines school and college fiction for girls in  Britain and the United States, written in the first half of  the twentieth century, to explore the formation and  ideologies of feminine identity. Nancy G. Rosoff and  Stephanie Spencer develop a transnational framework that  recognises how both constructed and essential femininities  transcend national boundaries. The book discusses the  significance and performance of female friendship across  time and place, which is central to the development of the  genre, and how it functioned as an important means of  informal education. Stories by Jessie Graham Flower,  Pauline Lester, Alice Ross Colver, Elinor Brent-Dyer, and  Dorita Fairlie Bruce are set within their historical  context and then used to explore aspects of sociability,  authority, responsibility, domesticity, and possibility.  The distinctiveness of this book stems from the historical  analysis of these sources, which have so far primarily been  treated by literary scholars within their national  context.},
