| description | Tween girls in America today are growing up on social media,&nbsp;posting selfies and sharing “stories.” In&nbsp;<i>Digital Girlhoods</i>,&nbsp;Katherine Phelps emphasizes tween girls’ agency on social media vis-à-vis identity formation, content creation, and community building.&nbsp;When a tween girl posts a video on YouTube asking the world, “Am I pretty or ugly?”, she is also asking, “Who am I?”&nbsp;This content makes visible the pitfalls and potentials of&nbsp;these tweens creating their own digital narratives—and it asks us to take them seriously.<br><br>Featuring in-depth interviews with a cross section of tween girls, Phelps allows them to give&nbsp;meanings to their relationships with social media and their peers in their own words.&nbsp;As tween girls embody and negotiate the many contradictions&nbsp;of American girlhoods through&nbsp;social media participation (for example, the “Pretty or Ugly” YouTube trend), Phelps asks, how are tween girls living and experiencing girlhoods in the digital age?<br><br>The processes of&nbsp;experiencing and enacting tweenhood and girlhood online are explicitly gendered.&nbsp;<i>Digital Girlhoods</i>&nbsp;thoughtfully considers what tween girlhoods look and feel like in America today. |
