This month's featured resource is the eBook Girl Culture.

Girl Culture investigates the relationships, struggles, obsessions, and idols of American tween and teen girls in the twenty and twenty-first century. It focuses on trendsetters, fashion, literature, film, in-group rituals and hot-button issues that shape-and are shaped by-girl culture.

With over 250 in-depth entries, this eBook presents a variety of topics to better understand the interplay between girls and mainstream culture:

• advertising geared toward very young girls emphasizing sexuality and extreme thinness
• body image
• peer pressure
• cliques
• gangs

Girl Culture is available to currently registered HCC faculty, staff, and students from the library's Electronic Resources.
