Description

Girl Reading Girl offers the first comprehensive examination of how reading culture shaped girls' identities in modern and contemporary Japan. This scholarly collection explores the reading practices of real girls from diverse social backgrounds throughout the twentieth century, whilst analysing how fictional girls engaged with literature. The book investigates the cultural significance of the shojo figure in Japanese society, examining how these representations functioned as objects of reading desire for both real and fictional female readers. Through interconnected essays, the volume traces the evolution of girls' reading habits and their relationship to broader social transformations, making it essential for understanding gender, literacy, and cultural production in Japan.
