Girls Books in Series Collection

The Girls Books in Series Collection is a part of the large Woman's Collection, which focuses on books by, about, and of interest to women published from the sixteenth century to the early twentieth. The Girls Books represent the serial titles available to young girls from the 1840s to 1970s. These books depict the popular culture perspective of young girls and the appropriate lifestyles offered to them. The collection reveals how those cultural ideals change over time.

This collection includes approximately 2,000 volumes that represent around 511 different American series written for girls dating from the mid-nineteenth century through the late twentieth century.

You may search the collection through Jackson Library's online catalog.
