""The Girl in the Pandemic makes a unique and much-needed contribution to the scholarship on Girlhood Studies in times of crises in different global contexts and particularly including scholarship from the global south and north."" - Relebohile Moletsane, University of KwaZulu-Natal ""While the work is contextualized in the current pandemic, it has transferability to other pandemics and disasters. The data across the chapters are rich and interesting and present and represent the riveting, unchanging and changing story of girls and young women, from a range of country contexts, education contexts, cultural contexts, and religious contexts, enabling the reader to see for herself what is similar and different to her own context, but also how extensive and complex the problems for girls are."" - Naydene de Lange, Nelson Mandela University
