While girlsâ voices are more prominent than ever in popular music culture, the specific sonic character of the young female voice is routinely denied authority. Decades old clichÃs of girls as frivolous, silly, and deserving of contempt prevail in mainstream popular image and sound. Nevertheless, girls find ways to raise their voices and make themselves heard. This volume explores the contemporary girlâs voice to illuminate the way ideals of girlhood are historically specific, and the way adults frame and construct girlhood to both valorize and vilify girls and women. Interrogating popular music, childhood, and gender, it analyzes the history of the all-girl band from the Runaways to the present; the changing anatomy of a girlâs voice throughout adolescence; girlâs participatory culture via youtube and rock camps, and representations of the girlâs voice in other media like audiobooks, film, and television. Essays consider girl performers like Jackie Evancho and Lorde, and all-girl bands like Sleater Kinney, The Slits and Warpaint, as well as performative 'girlishness' in the voices of female vocalists like Joni Mitchell, BeyoncÃ, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Kathleen Hanna, and Rebecca Black. Participating in girl studies within and beyond the field of music, this book unites scholarly perspectives from disciplines such as musicology, ethnomusicology, comparative literature, womenâs and gender studies, media studies, and education to investigate the importance of girlsâ voices in popular music, and to help unravel the complexities bound up in music and girlhood in the contemporary contexts of North America and the United Kingdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I\u003cbr\u003eVoice and Agency \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 I’m with the Band: Redefining Young Feminism 15 LUCY O’BRIEN \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Girls at Work: Gendered Identities, Sex Segregation,\u003cbr\u003eand Employment Experiences in the Music Industry 37 MARION LEONARD \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 \"I Love Beyoncé, but I Struggle with Beyoncé\": Girl Activists\u003cbr\u003eTalk Music and Feminism 56 LYN MIKEL BROWN AND DANA EDELL WITH MONTGOMERY JONES, GEORGIA LUCKHURST, AND JONEKA PERCENTIE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART II\u003cbr\u003eVoice and Vocality \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 \"These Stupid Little Sounds in Her Voice\": Valuing and\u003cbr\u003eVilifying the New Girl Voice 77 DIANE PECKNOLD \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Girls and Puberty: The Voice, It Is a-Changin’;\u003cbr\u003eA Discussion of Pedagogical Methods for the\u003cbr\u003eTraining of the Voice through Puberty 99 BARBARA FOX DEMAIO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e6 The Curse of the \"O mio\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ebambino \u003c\/i\u003ecaro\": Jackie Evancho as Prodigy, Diva, and Ideal Girl 113 DANA GORZELANY-MOSTAK\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e7 Authority, Ability, and the Aging Ingénue’s Voice 143 ALEXANDRA APOLLONI\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART III\u003cbr\u003eVoice and Authenticity \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Performing Pop Girlhood on Disney Channel 171 MORGAN BLUE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 When Loud Means Real: Tween Girls and the Voices of Rock Authenticity 191 SARAH DOUGHER \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 YouTube, Twerking and You: Context Collapse and\u003cbr\u003ethe Handheld Copresence of Black Girls and Miley Cyrus 208 KYRA D.
