Delinquent daughters :
Odem, Mary E.,
Delinquent daughters : protecting and policing adolescent female sexuality in the United States, 1885-1920 / Mary E. Odem. - 1 online resource (xiv, 265 pages) : illustrations - Gender & American culture . - Gender & American culture. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-253) and index.
"White slaves" and "vicious men": the age-of-consent campaign -- Teenage girls, sexuality, and working-class parents -- Statutory rape prosecutions in California -- The "delinquent girl" and progressive reform -- Maternal justice in the juvenile court -- "This terrible freedom": generational conflicts in working-class families.
Delinquent Daughters explores the gender, class, and racial tensions that fueled campaigns to control female sexuality in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America. Mary Odem looks at these moral reform movements from a national perspective, but she also undertakes a detailed analysis of court records to explore the local enforcement of regulatory legislation in Alameda and Los Angeles Counties in California. From these legal proceedings emerge overlapping and often contradictory views of middle-class female reformers, court and law enforcement officials, working-class teenage girls, and the girls' parents.
