Book Description:

The American girl is not the middle-class white girl of popular imagination. She's a multitude—a vibrant spectrum of experience that encompasses immigrant and Native American girls, Red Diaper girls and surfer girls, girl gangs and sorority members, mill workers and Girl Scouts, lesbians, and little mothers.
