Models of girlhood are shared between settler colonies and contain many similar attitudes towards family, the natural world, education, employment, modernity, and race, yet, as the authors argue, these texts also reveal different attitudes that emerged out of distinct colonial experiences. Unlike the imperial model representing the British ideal, the transnational girl is an adaptation of British imperial femininity and holds, for example, a unique perception of Indigenous culture and imperialism. Drawing on fiction, girls\u0026amp;#x2019; magazines, and school magazine, the authors shine a light on neglected corners of the literary histories of these three nations and strengthen our knowledge of femininity in white settler colonies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmpire and Transnational Flows\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eColonial Girls\u0026amp;#x2019; Print Culture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGirlhood in the British Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eNational and Transnational Dynamics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Colonial and Imperial Family\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironment and the Natural World\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRace and Texts for Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eModernity and Transnational Femininities\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eWork and Education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGirlhood and Coming of Age during the First World War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModernity and the Nation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595458212120,"sku":"9781487503093","price":41.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/from-colonial-to-modern-transnational-girlhood-in-canadian-australian-and-new-zealand-literature-1840-1940-hardback-9781487503093","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
