Description

First-hand accounts offer a unique window on what it is to be a girl in today’s digitized society.

A landmark work that explores the many forces that shape girls’ and young women’s experiences of privacy, identity, and equality in our digitally networked society. This collection of seminal contributions presents the latest findings of The eGirls Project (www. egirlsproject. ca) and other important research initiatives. It examines the complex realities of digitized communications in online environments characterized by a gendered gaze and too often punctuated by sexualized violence.
