Book Title: Girl Wide Web: Girls, the Internet, and the Negotiation of Identity

Author: Sharon R. Mazzarella (Editor)

Selection Statement:

When this book first published in 2005, it offered a much-needed investigation of the landscape of teen girls and internet use. A seminal work on girls, identity and internet, the book made a solid contribution to a body of knowledge from which many areas of research have developed. I first encountered the book as a graduate student, and the work reshaped the way I think about online content created by girls, about girls or for girls.
