title = "Negotiating femininities in the neoliberal night-time economy: too much of a girl?",
abstract = "This book explores the ways in which young women negotiate gendered and classed identities in nightlife venues. With a particular focus on the under-researched phenomenon of the {\textquoteleft}girls{\textquoteright} night out{\textquoteright}, this text explores tensions around what it means to be {\textquoteleft}girly{\textquoteright} in bars, pubs and clubs, examining throughout the ways in which being a {\textquoteleft}girly girl{\textquoteright} is simultaneously desired and derided in a postfeminist context. Drawing on research conducted in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this original and comprehensive book explores the value and meaning of the {\textquoteleft}girls{\textquoteright} night out{\textquoteright} for young women, and its instrumental role in the negotiation of friendships and femininities. Nicholls covers a range of themes, including alcohol consumption, dress, and risk management, providing engaging and timely insights into women{\textquoteright}s leisure as a site for the negotiation of gendered identities. Negotiating Femininities in the Neoliberal Night-Time Economy will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences with an interest in gender, class and the Night-Time Economy.",
