The history of young women is a history of trouble. Arguments about whether girls have been the victims or the beneficiaries of social change have raged through modern history. This sparkling, panoramic social history takes a close look at the anxieties, horror stories and moral unease that have accompanied changes in girls' lives since the late nineteenth century. Girl Trouble shows the importance of disentangling panic from progress if we are to understand the true story of twentieth century girls.
