This Element looks at the publishing history of the genre, girls' literature, in the United States spanning 1850–1940. American girls' literature shares a common bildungsroman: heroines 'grow down,' choosing community over individualism, by entering a domestic role.
This Element looks at the publishing history of the genre, girls'' literature, in the United States spanning 1850–1940. The genre is set in context, beginning with an examination of the early American women''s literature that preceded girls'' literature. Then the Element explores several sub-genres of girls'' literature, the family story, orphan story, school story, as well as African American girls'' literature. Underpinning each of these stories is the bildungsroman, which overwhelmingly ends with girls ''growing down'' to marry and raise children, following the ideals outlined in the cult of domesticity.
