In the 21st century, films about the lives and experiences of girls and young women have become increasingly visible. Yet, British cinema’s engagement with contemporary girlhood has – unlike its Hollywood counterpart – been largely ignored until now. Sarah Hill’s Young Women, Girls and Postfeminism in Contemporary British Film provides the first book-length study of how young femininity has been constructed, both in films like the St. Trinians franchise and by critically acclaimed directors like Andrea Arnold, Carol Morley and Lone Scherfig. Hill offers new ways to understand how postfeminism informs British cinema and how it is adapted to fit its specific geographical context. By interrogating UK cinema through this lens, Hill paints a diverse and distinctive portrait of modern femininity and consolidates the important academic links between film, feminist media and girlhood studies.
