    Girl Culture

    Renowned photographer Lauren Greenfield has won acclaim and awards for her studies of youth culture. In Girl Culture, she combines a photojournalists sense of story with fine-art composition and color to create an astonishing and intelligent exploration of American girls. Her photographs provide a window into the secret worlds of girls social lives and private rituals, the dressing room and locker room, as well as the iconic subcultures of the popular clique: cheerleaders, showgirls, strippers, debutantes, actresses, and models. With 100 hypnotic photographs, 20 interviews with the subjects, and an introduction by foremost historian of American girlhood Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Greenfield reveals the exhibitionist nature of modern femininity and how far it has drifted from the feminine ideologies of the past.

     

    Lauren Greenfield has received the International Center of Photography's Best Young Photographer award, among other honors. Her work belongs to numerous museum collections and appears regularly in the New York Times Magazine, Time, and the New Yorker. A member of the prestigious photography collective VII, she lives in Venice, California.

    Joan Jacobs Brumberg is a professor at Cornell University, where she has been teaching history, human development, and womens studies for over 20 years. She is the author of The Body Project. She lives in Ithaca, New York.

    10/11/11| Christina Loff
    Girl Culture is an important, insightful, heartbreaking book that takes a real look at how women deal with the pressures of body image in our society. Intimate photos and personal essays from the women photographed make this a unique and powerful tome that wil challenge your ideas of beauty and haunt you for weeks.
