Paperback. Condition: New. In the decades since the Second World War, the teenage witch has emerged as a major American cultural trope.

Moving from the birth of the bobby soxer in the 1940s through to twenty-first-century teenage engagements with fourth-wave feminism, this book treats a range of themes including embodiment, agency, identity, violence and sexuality.…
