Reviews

This fascinating book examines the significance of girls' hair styles within the context of gendered, class-based, and racialised identities on screen (and off). Arguing for the importance of the apparently trivial, Handyside's analysis offers new insights for film/media studies, cultural studies, and gender studies. A sparkling contribution to scholarship.-- ""Elizabeth Ezra, Professor of Cinema and Culture, The University of Stirling""
