Where girls rule by magic: metaphors of agency
This essay examines the role played by narratives of magic in constructing girls' power and agency. It argues that fantasy fiction involving girls who possess magical powers is coloured by the anxieties of contemporary societies about girls who demand and expect autonomy in the real world.
