Problem
A key theme of our class has been that "girl" is constructed through the gender binary (girl/boy) and within-girl binary (good/bad) as they intersect with race, class, disability, nation.
You will essay addressing this statement. Here's what you are to do:
Choose two texts from class to analyze
a) Who/what is recognizable as an "appropriate" girl and femininity, and who/what is not?
b) What role do race/class/ability/nationality/etc. play in maintaining these binaries?
