Girl Culture

Lauren Greenfield is an internationally acclaimed photographer and documentary filmmaker. In Girl Culture she turns her lens on American girls. The resulting photographs provide a window into the secret worlds of girls’social lives and private rituals, the dressind room and locker room, as well as the iconic subcultures of the popular clique, cheerleaders, athletes, strippers, debutantes, actresses, and models. With an eye for both the common and the eccentric, she visits girls of all ages, discussing issues ranging from eating disorders and self-mutilation to spring break and prom. With more than 100 mesmerizing photographs, 18 interviews, and an introduction by social and cultural historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg, this book is as vital and relevant now as when it was first published.
