Horse Crazy : Girls and the Lives of Horses

Explores the meaning behind the love between girls and horses. Jean O'Malley Halley examines how popular culture, including the ""pony book"" genre, uses horses to encourage conformity to gender norms but also insists that the loving relationship between a girl and a horse fundamentally challenges sexist and mainstream ideas of girlhood.
