Walkerdine, Valerie. Daddy’s girl: Young girls and popular culture. Harvard University Press, 1998.

This thought-provoking article explores the societal perceptions of young girls in the lenes of popular culture. Through its analyzing media such as films, advertisements, popular music and television shows, the article examines cultural phenomena like young characters who represent the modern society values in glamorous sexualized images popularized daily by the media. In line with my argument, the article exposes the misleading image about young girls in society. The piece also addresses how, when it comes to young girls, class influences what images are seen acceptable or cute versus problematic or uncomfortable.

Oppliger, Patrice A. Girls gone skank: The sexualization of girls in American culture. McFarland, 2008.

The prevailing cultural components that encourage early sexualization in the preadolescent population are critically examined in this study. It bolsters the claim by emphasizing how parental neglect is frequently shown through the physical absence of parents owing to demanding work schedules, material indulgence that exposes them to hypersexualized imagery, or the way in which young girls are marketed through various fashion media. This study explores the growing tendencies of mass-market sexualization directed towards younger girls through a variety of media, including early-life cosmetic procedures like labiaplasty procedures for females or fashion choices like revealing clothing options. The essay also emphasizes the multiple negative impacts that this exploitation is having on young girls and how socialization plays a part in imposing unfavorable ideals of beauty.

Jeffreys, Sheila. Beauty and misogyny: Harmful cultural practices in the West. Routledge, 2014.

Jeffreys makes a strong case in this engaging book against harmful beauty standards that, while ostensibly promoting individual choice, support gender inequality in western cultures. She makes a strong case for why ideas like cosmetic surgery fall outside the purview of mutual contractual relationships and operate beyond endorsement by carefully examining how pornography contributed to the popularization of dangerous trends like breast implants and genital waxing. She also asserts that cosmetic surgery causes delayed deaths. The author examines how seemingly innocuous behaviors, including wearing makeup, have become worse for women’s health. She examines how the fashion industry has created worldly creatures that deviate from their natural forms, with a concentration on selling female figures.

Giroux, Henry A., and Christopher G. Robbins. “Nymphet fantasies: Child beauty pageants and the politics of innocence.” Giroux Reader. Routledge, 2015. 125-146.

In line with my argument, this article focuses on child beauty pageants where the minors are taken for advantage of adults. The writer’s analysis of US culture is that these galas are a byproduct of collective evasion and constrained senses that assist them in flying under the radar. Furthermore, the industry courage has real child abuse as the teenagers are taught to show an adult sexuality at a young age as a way of reaching the billion-dollar industry. Child beauty pageants are a great source of problems as they have developed our society’s callousness to the innumerable harm these contests produce in the physical and psychological health of young children. Giroux and Robbins’ work serves as a tool to comprehend the deep-rooted cultural values about youth and girlhood that were apparent in these shocking accounts.
