Girls Make Media:
Zines, Films and Websites
a critical discussion of the rise of girls' media production in contemporary U.S. society.

Girls Make Media analyses girls' films, zines, and websites, as well as girl media-makers and the various social sites where their work is supported. This book explores how media production enables girls' creative expression while also facilitating experimentation with their identities and access to the public sphere.

Girls Make Media reclaims the marginalized history of girls' cultural practices by concentrating on the connections between various forms of media produced by female youth today and girls' historical involvement in domestic arts and written culture.
