This book explores the girl's voice and the construction of girlhood in contemporary popular music, visiting girls as musicians, activists, and performers. It illuminates the way ideals of girlhood are historically specific, and the way adults frame and construct girlhood to both valorize and vilify girls and women. Interrogating popular music, childhood, and gender, it analyzes the history of the all-girl band; girls' media culture; the changing anatomy of a girl's voice throughout adolescence; and girl's voices on youtube, at rock camps, on Disney Channel, and in audiobooks and film, uniting a range of scholarly perspectives to investigate girls' voices and girlhood in popular music.
