Reviews

An anthology that takes the enduring and evolving figure of the tomboy seriously. From her commodification to her rise in social media, from international to literary and media contexts – this collection is vital for understanding the competing discourses that celebrate and constrain an important symbol of gender rebellion. An important read for scholars and students of gender, communication, media, and cultural criticism. -- Jamie Skerski, University of Colorado Boulder
