The contributors relate the liminal nature of the female protagonist to liminality as a unifying feature of dystopian literature, literature for and about young women, and cultural expectations of adolescent womanhood. Divided into three sections, the collection investigates cultural assumptions and expectations of adolescent women, considers the various means of resistance and rebellion made available to and explored by female protagonists, and examines how the adolescent female protagonist is situated with respect to the groups and environments that surround her. In a series of thought-provoking essays on a wide range of writers that includes Libba Bray, Scott Westerfeld, Tahereh Mafi, Veronica Roth, Marissa Meyer, Ally Condie, and Suzanne Collins, the collection makes a convincing case for how this rebellious figure interrogates the competing constructions of adolescent womanhood in late-twentieth and early twenty-first century culture 599 Imported from: zcat.oclc.org:210/OLUCWorldCat (Do not remove) 600 14 Bray, Libba 600 14 Collins, Suzanne 600 14 Condie, Ally 600 14 Mafi, Tahereh 600 14 Meyer, Marissa 600 14 Roth, Veronica 600 14 Westerfeld, Scott 650 0 Young adult fiction, American|xHistory and criticism 650 0 Young adult literature|xHistory and criticism 650 7 Litteraturvetenskap|xförfattare|xungdomsböcker|zFörenta Staterna|y2000-talet|2kao 650 7 Populärlitteratur|2kao 650 7 Dystopier|xscience fiction|2kao 650 7 Motstånd|2kao 650 7 Kvinnobilden|2kao 650 7 Literary studies|xauthors|xbooks for young people|zUnited States|y21st century|2kao//eng 650 7 Popular literature|2kao//eng 650 7 Dystopias|xscience fiction|2kao//eng 650 7 Resistance|2kao//eng 650 7 Image of women|2kao//eng 650 7 Litteratur för unga vuxna|2sao 650 7 Unga kvinnor i litteraturen|2sao 650 7 Dystopier i litteraturen|2sao 650 7 Ungdomar i litteraturen|2sao 650 7 Adolescence in literature.|2fast 650 7 Dystopias in literature.|2fast 650 7 Young adult fiction, American.|2fast 650 7 Young women in literature.|2fast 650 7 Englisch.|2gnd 650 7 Roman.|2gnd 650 7 Anti-Utopie.|2gnd 650 7 Flickor/kvinnor i litteraturen|2sbiao 650 7 Huvudpersoner i litteraturen|2sbiao 650 7 Uppror i litteraturen|2sbiao 650 7 Empowerment|2sbiao 650 7 Dystopier|2sbiao 650 7 Ungdomsböcker|2sbiao 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast 655 7 Analys och tolkning|2saogf 700 1 Day, Sara K.|4edt 700 1 Green-Barteet, Miranda A.|4edt 700 1 Montz, Amy L.|4edt 830 0 Ashgate studies in childhood, 1700 to the present 900 10 |6600|aKalinz, Suzan|uCollins, Suzanne 900 10 |6600|aKolinz, Süzaani|uCollins, Suzanne 900 10 |6600|a|uCollins, Suzanne 907 00 190503
