Introduction : Imperial girls in British literature and culture -- Shaping the 'useful' girl: the girl's own paper, 1880-1907 -- Developing pedagogy and hybridised femininity in the girls' school story -- Adventurous girls of the British empire: the novels of Bessie Marchant -- Fantastic and domestic girls and the idolisation of 'improving' others -- Be(ing) prepared: girl guides, colonial life, and national strength -- Microcosms of girlhood: reworking the robinsonade for girls -- Conclusion.

While the gender and age of the girl may seem to remove her from any significant contribution to empire, this book provides both a new perspective on familiar girls' literature, and the first detailed examination of lesser-known fiction relating the emergence of fictional girl adventurers, castaways and 'ripping' schoolgirls to the British Empire.
