Reviews
Jennifer A. Stephen, Journal of the History of Sexuality, January 2012 :
‘In Caught, Tamara Myers contributes an innovative, nuanced, and richly insightful study of Montreal’s jeunes filles modernes (modern girls)... Myers traces how the creation of juvenile courts considerably expanded state intervention into the lives of working-class girls and young women… An excellent work based on original research.’
