Research on evolution of wo mi

T he Spice Girls, MTV, Barbie, computers and
unlimited career opportunities for women; As
the end of the twentieth century nears, ado
lescent culture will likely be defined by these ideas,
entertainers and opportunities.
The beginning of the 20th century, however, of
fered a different culture and outlook for women
compared to the culture and opportunities of today.
How girls’ culture was defined at the beginning
of the twentieth century, using Girl Scouts of the
United States of America as a primary example, is
the focus of a study by Laureen Tedesco, a doctoral
student of English at Texas A&M University.
Tedesco said she formed this idea for her study
by looking through old Girl Scout manuals.
“I was looking through the manuals between
1913, when Girl Scouts published their first manu
al, to about the 1933 manual,” Tedesco said. “The
manuals were all written very technically and were
written for a specific audience, which would be the
Girl Scouts of that time period.”
Tedesco said she found in these Girl Scout man
uals and in other research that girls were taught
health care, housekeeping and cooking skills, along
with some outdoor activities similar to the Boy
Scouts of America.
“This curriculum was based on society’s view of
women and the new directions women were begin
ning to take in the 1910s and 1920s,” she said. “This
is what they were teaching the Girl Scouts of the
time; this new-formed identity.”
“Girl Scout manuals in the 1920s provided por
traits of women with careers and gave girls oppor
tunities to earn badges in career exploration, but a
heavy emphasis was placed on a woman’s respon
sibility to maintain the home and foster the health
of her family,” she said.
The basic principles taught by the Girl Scouts
helped contribute to the view that a career was okay
until marriage and then a womar
still defined as the home in thisE
Tedesco said fiction and advkr

vote, indicated that women's p.

Today, women are not expecit
will be "healthy for society” and*
not in the home.
Dr. Barbara Finlay, director of
at Texas A&M University said ado*
day reflects the diversity of our so:
“There is a lot of diversity in if
culture of today,” Finlay said,
see what is cool, while othersarei
by the pop culture.”
