    • As notions of contemporary girlhood continue to change and evolve, there’s no better reference point than photographer Lauren Greenfield’s seminal monograph Girl Culture. Featuring over 100 images of young women all over the US and interviews with her subjects, Greenfield charts the often harsh reality of what it means to be a young woman; it’s as much an anthropological exercise as it is a study of femininity. As social historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg puts it in her introduction, Girl Culture is “both a revealing documentary record and a disquieting personal commentary”, which also features a hot-pink haired, thin-browed Gwen Stefani. And Greenfield’s lens was a prescient one, it turns out: she famously shot Kim and Kourtney Kardashian for a separate project, when they were just 12 and 13, at a school dance – now, they’re hugely influential emblems of modern womanhood themselves.
