Starting with the figure of a boisterous girl in the mid-19th century and ending with the 'girl power' movement of the '90s, 'Tomboys' is a critical study of this code of female conduct. The book uncovers the origins, charts the trajectory and traces the literary and cultural transformations the concept has undergone in the US.
