The Mystery Of The Body: Embodiment In The Nancy Drew Mystery Series, Katie Still
Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Theses
This thesis investigates the ways in which ideas about class, gender, and race are produced and articulated through the body in the Nancy Drew Mystery series in the 1930s. Physical descriptions and bodily movements, as well as material surroundings, work together to reify and contradict dominant ideas of normalcy and deviance being located on the body.
