Popis: In this chapter, Kuttainen and Lippmann offer a much-needed analysis of overlooked literary modernities in settler colonies. They focus on the figure of the Modern Girl in the female-oriented interwar magazine print cultures of Australia and Canada, and draw attention to the ways in which texts for and about women have been especially overlooked in these domains. As well as considering the appearance of the Modern Girl in magazine print culture of the 1920s and 1930s, and uncovering many images and texts featuring flapper-like figures, Kuttainen and Lippman explore the methodological implications of comparing various segments of magazine print culture. This chapter thus not only recovers absent and overlooked representations of the Modern Girl in the alternative literary modernities of Canada and Australia but also examines what it means to position this figure and the texts in which she was represented in relation to differentiated readerships.
