Don't miss this special dialogue and book celebration during the International Women’s Day events in the month of March! Join Catherine Vanner and Heather Switzer, Emily Bent, and Karishma Desai and contributors for a celebration of two new edited books, Girls Taking Action: Activism networks by, for and with girls and young women, and Girls in Global Development — Figurations of Gendered Power Book Celebration
Girls’ activism can be difficult to locate, because, in part, of the unique forms that it takes. Consequently, girls’ activism is too often made invisible to adult researchers looking for more traditional activist practices that feminists have used historically, such as public demonstrations, legal challenges, and commercial boycotts.
I suggest that girls’ marginalization from traditional places of activism — the public street, the voting booth, or the town hall, for example — has resulted in the creation by some girls of alternative spaces where they can perform activist identities and engage in projects of social change. <...> I argue that we need to take seriously the feminist activist strategies that girls are employing in the spaces of their blogs and understand these practices as accessible activist strategies based upon their social positioning as girls. This ultimately requires girls’ studies researchers to decenter our own conceptions of feminism and understand activism from the perspective of girls, whose lives are often situated within particular material, social, and political constraints.
