[It seems that the above comment about Alice in Wonderland could equally apply to the young women and girls whose stories have populated this book. With her long golden hair and pretty blue dress, the fictional Alice appears as the embodiment of childhood innocence and Victorian girlhood. As we have seen in the preceding chapters, that idealist image has not been totally squelched, although it possibly lives on in the minds of policy makers and service providers as an adult construction of girl rather more vibrantly than in the girls themselves. But that’s not the whole story of Alice. She is also an explorer to whom it falls to engage with the rules and concerns of adults and peers in her present world and with all of the inherent contradictions, logics, and performativities she confronts in the different zones into which she travels. And her energy and effort in trying to accommodate to these rules and to recognize cultural patterns and achieve some sort of sense of herself as belonging are also recognizably at play in the world of girls today.]
