Girls on Fire

Transformative Heroines in Young Adult Dystopian Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ignoring or minimizing the roles that girls and women play in the present and the future (and the past) is no longer an option. In Girls on Fire, Sarah Hentges argues that American traditions of dystopia should look to girls and women in fiction - and in the world - for inspiration toward progressive transformation in the future.
