Bitten by Twilight

Taking a cultural studies approach, this title includes analysis of girls' media representations, media consumption, and media production. It contains studies of unexplored topics, such as feminist themes in teen magazines, girlmade memory books, girls' self-branding on YouTube, and the surveillance of girls via new media technologies.

Relying predominantly upon a textual analysis of trade publications from the 1980s and early 1990s, the book eloquently maps out the synergistic processes of the marketing, advertising, merchandising, and media industries as they slowly began to take interest in the girl and began to define her as a tween: an empowered female consumer who is no longer a child but not quite a teen.
