More about the book

Focusing on post-World War II France, the book examines how teenage girls were redefined from traditional figures to "bad girls," reflecting societal anxieties about identity in a changing cultural landscape. Weiner explores the representation of youth in various media, highlighting how girls became symbols of social order and disorder amid the country's trauma from the Nazi Occupation and the Cold War. By analyzing texts from magazines to films, the work reveals the complexities of youth identity and the significant role of girls in shaping and challenging societal norms.
