Abstract

[The introduction synthesises the key themes of the volume and suggests that a comparative approach to the history of the girl reveals many similarities over time and place. These similarities include ambiguity about when adolescent girlhood ends and womanhood begins; anxiety around the education of girls, particularly at a high academic level; and the central role of the work of girls in the global economy from the eighteenth through to the early years of the twenty-first century. These issues continue to be at the centre of public discourse on the girl in contemporary society. A historical dimension has, therefore, much to offer the wider field of Girls’ Studies.]
