title = "How to be a Woman: Models of Masochism and Sacrifice in Young Adult Fiction",
abstract = "Buffy, Bella, Veronica, Katniss, Clary, Tris and Saba:1 For two decades post-feminist heroines have faced life-threatening trials as part of their progress to womanhood. In this chapter I consider how young adult popular fictions operate as forms of pedagogy for young women by offering them particular models of maturity and womanhood. I explore the recurrence and reformulation of a persistent pattern of behaviour in which heroines engage in risky and/or masochistic behaviours for which they are often emotionally rewarded.",
