Since the 1990s; women artists have led the contemporary art world in the creation of art depicting female adolescence; producing challenging; critically debated; and avidly collected artworks that are driving the current and momentous shift in the perception of women in art. Girls! Girls! Girls! presents essays from established and up-and-coming scholars who address a variety of themes; including narcissism; nostalgia; post-feminism; and fantasy with the goal of approaching the overarching question of why women artists are turning in such numbers to the subject of girls ndash; and what these artistic explorations signify. Artists discussed include Anna Gaskell; Marlene McCarty; Sue de Beer; Miwa Yanagi; Eija-Liisa Ahtila; Collier Schorr; and more.

Half a century ago I was a resident physician at CHOP and this book provided a nice picture of the remoter parts of the historyBy Carter D BrooksThis is a book with limited interest. Half a century ago I was a resident physician at CHOP and this book provided a nice picture of the remoter parts of the history of the institution about which I knew very little. For someone without a personal connection to the hospital this would probably not mean much. While the book did a reasonable job of identifying some of the luminaries in the hospitals past; it failed to address the issues of interest to me--the residents it trained; the services it rendered; the atmosphere it created and in which it functioned. In all it was good as far as it went but it didnt go where I would have liked.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice for those who have worked there but could have been much moreBy PandoraThis book is a good review of the pioneers in the establishment of CHOP but it does not delve into the actual institution itself. I worked at CHOP for 15 years and am well aware of how incredible an institution it really is. There is very little reference to the contributions CHOP makes daily to the lives of their patients and the people who work there. To be a part of that team was an incredible experience the book nicely reviews the high profile aspects but misses the day to day operations of the nurses; the residents fellows; the attending MDs who all contribute to an amazing place.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
