The awkward age in women's popular fiction, 1850-1900 girls and the transition to womanhood /
Bilston investigates how writers portrayed female adolescence and discusses why women authors so often centred on adolescent heroines. She considers how representations of the turbulent disaffected adolescent laid the foundation for the feminist New Woman heroine at the end of the 19th century.
