    *Summary (Feb. 2012): *For more than a decade, girl power has been a
    cultural barometer, reflecting girlhood’s ever-changing meanings.
    How did girl power evolve from a subcultural rallying cry to a
    mainstream catchphrase, and what meaning did young girls find in its
    pop culture forms? From the riot grrrls to the Spice Girls to /The
    Powerpuff Girls/, and influenced by books like /Reviving
    Ophelia/ and movements like Take Our Daughters to Work Day, /Growing
    Up With Girl Power/ charts this history. It considers how real girls
    who grew up with girl power interpreted its messages about
    empowerment, girlhood, strength, femininity, race, and more, and
    suggests that for young girls, commercialized girl power had real
    strengths and limitations – sometimes in fascinating, unexpected
    ways. Encompassing issues of pre-adolescent body image, gender
    identity, sexism, and racism, /Growing Up With Girl Power
    /underscores the importance of talking with young girls, and is a
    compelling addition to the literature on girls, media, and culture.
