Reviews
[Girls, Texts, Cultures] is an exciting exercise in crossfertilization across two already diverse and interdisciplinary camps of scholars who often have too little of an opportunity to learn from one another. Cheers for the conference that generated this book and for the editors' efforts in bringing its findings to publication. Long may the conversations continue.--Claudia Mills, English Studies in Canada, 2017
