On countless playgrounds each day, girls are at work crafting intricate social arrangements through language and embodied action. In this ground-breaking ethnography, the interactions of girls of diverse ethnicities and social classes show that rather than avoiding conflict, they actively seek it out, challenging the notion that girls are inherently supportive of each other. The Hidden Life of Girls documents the language practices and interactive rituals used not only to sanction friends who violate social norms, but also to bully younger girls and those regarded as social outcasts. This volume will not only provide a clearer picture of children's worlds, but will also help guide future policy and intervention strategies in schools.
"Important [and] groundbreaking work, combining ethnographyand the close study of social interaction. Written with wonderfullyclear prose, it will make an excellent textbook for undergraduatecourses on language and social interaction, the ethnography ofcommunication, and linguistic anthropology. I can attest also toits appropriateness for graduate level classes-I found that itprompted extensive discussion on a wide range of topics ... .Itgoes without saying that this is required reading for anyone whostudies either gender or children or both from an anthropological,psychological, or sociological perspective." (Journal ofAnthropological Research, November 2008)
"Combining ethnographic fieldwork in neighborhood andschool grounds with micro-analysis of both discursive andnon-discursive situated practices, it offers a powerful and rarelook into the social dynamics of girls' social life. The authormoves within and between the various data sets she has gatheredover the years with elegance, offering multifaceted analyses ofparticular interactional moments and communicative practices inways that make them speak to and illuminate each other. The book,then, offers both rich and rigorous ways of looking at children'snaturally situated conduct that speak to larger concerns of socialscience research. It is clearly of great value to students oflanguage and social interaction, interpersonal communicationscholars, and researchers concerned with the development ofcommunication competence or with group processes, to mention butsome of the more obvious subfields in our discipline for which thisbook will prove to be a great asset." (InternationalJournal of Communication, Spring 2008)
"A powerful [and] provocative read... Highlyrecommended" (Choice)
"Hidden Life develops into an engrossing read ... .Oneof Hidden Life's strengths is Goodwin's diverse sampleof Latino, Asian, African American, and Caucasiangirls."

"Rich analysis ... .Full of rich and diverse data... and important policy recommendations. Shines a bright lighton the complexity ... of preadolescent girls." (SexRoles)"This fascinating and important book gives us a rarely seen insideperspective on the dynamics of girls' social negotiation,contestation, and hierarchy. Critically addressing keymisrepresentations and omissions of children's life-worlds inprevious scholarship, Goodwin provides a much-needed counterpointto that research and puts girls' experiences squarely at the centerof her analysis." -Mary Bucholtz, University ofCalifornia, Santa Barbara
"As she did with He-Said-She-Said in 1990, in this bookGoodwin sets a new standard for the ethnographic study of socialinteraction. As the title suggests, standard techniques of thesocial sciences leave much of girls' social life hidden from viewand insulated from analysis. Goodwin's book offers an importantcorrective: Through a focus on the actual practices of talk andembodied conduct, Goodwin shows how in constructing thehierarchies, divisions, and exclusions constitutive of their socialgroups, these girls define their own moral order." -JackSidnell, University of Toronto
