Abstract:
With the tomboy figure currently operating in a liminal space between extinction and resurgence, this collection is an unabashed celebration of her rebellious, independent, and pioneering spirit. Reclaiming the Tomboy: The Body, Identity, and Representation pays tribute to tomboys of the past, present, and (hopefully) future.
