Conclusion. 001360214 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001360214 520__ $$aThis 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. 001360214 650_0 $$aWorld history. 001360214 650_0 $$aBooks$$xHistory. 001360214 650_0 $$aWomen. 001360214 650_0 $$aSocial history. 001360214 650_0 $$aEducation$$xHistory. 001360214 650_0 $$aCivilization$$xHistory. 001360214 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001360214 7001_ $$aSpencer, Stephanie. 001360214 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030059859 001360214 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030059873 001360214 852__ $$bebk 001360214 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-05986-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001360214 887__ $$aD17-24.5 001360214 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1360214$$pGLOBAL_SET 001360214 980__ $$aBIB 001360214 980__ $$aEBOOK 001360214 982__ $$aEbook 001360214 983__ $$aOnline 001360214 994__ $$a92$$bISE
