Abstract: What does it mean to place girls at the centre of international development?In Girl Power?, Sarah Bellows-Blakely offers a compelling and sharply argued account of how African girls became key figures in global development policy during the 1980s and 1990s.Far from a straightforward narrative of empowerment, the book traces how diverse and sometimes radical ideas about gender and justice were repeatedly narrowed into a single, neoliberal framework in which 'girl power' meant little more than integration into free-market capitalism.
