"This book challenges a contemporary postfeminist sensibility grounded not only in
assumptions that gender and sexual equality has been achieved in many Western contexts,
but that feminism has gone 'too far' with women and girls now overtaking men and boys
- positioned as the new victims of gender transformations. The book is the first to
outline and critique how educational discourses have directly fed into postfeminist
anxieties, exploring three postfeminist panics over girls and girlhood that circulate
widely in the international media and popular culture. First it explores how a masculinity
crisis over failing boys in school has spawned a backlash discourse about overly successful
girls; second it looks at how widespread anxieties over girls becoming excessively
mean and/or violent have positioned female aggression as pathological; third it examines
how incessant concerns over controlling risky female sexuality underpin recent sexualisation
of girls moral panics. The book outlines how these postfeminist panics over girlhood
have influenced educational policies and practices in areas such as academic achievement,
anti-bullying strategies and sex-education curriculum, making visible the new postfeminist,
sexual politics of schooling. Moving beyond media or policy critique, however, this
book offers new theoretical and methodological tools for researching postfeminism,
girlhood and education. It engages with current theoretical debates over possibilities
for girls' agency and empowerment in postfeminist, neo-liberal contexts of sexual
regulation. It also elaborates new psychosocial and feminist Deleuzian methodological
approaches for mapping subjectivity, affectivity and social change"--
