Girly girl
Girly girl is a slang term for a girl or woman who chooses to dress and behave in an especially feminine style, such as wearing pink, using make-up, using perfume, dressing in skirts, dresses and blouses, and talking about relationships and other activities which are associated with the traditional gender role of a girl.〔Linda Duits, ''Multi-Girl-Culture'' (2008) p. 141〕
Though the term is sometimes used as a term of disdain, it can also be used in a more positive way, particularly in terms of exploring one of a range of gender positions.〔Duits, p. 136〕 Being a 'girly girl' can then be seen as a fluid and partially embodied position - a form of discourse taken up, discarded or modified for tactical/strategic ends.〔M. O'Sullivan/A. MacPhail, ''Young People's Voices'' (2010) p. 37-8〕
==Antecedents==
An ancestral figure of the girly girl was the ''womanly woman'' of the early 20th century, caricatured and attacked by the flapper as a "bundle of beautiful clothes...(a ) mass of affectations".〔F. Scott Fitzgerald, ''Bernice Bobs her Hair'' (1963) p. 18〕 An earlier term for a squeamish kind of ultra femininity was ''missish''.〔Georgette Heyer, ''The Grand Sophie'' (1960) p. 275〕
