Spatial mobilities are a neglected dimension of the historiography of post-war youth and yet, as this article argues, in the late 1950s and 1960s, mobilities became integral to a redefinition of young femininity. Examining media targeting girls and young women, as well as national newspapers and women’s magazines, this article explores the popularization of the idea that girls in their teens and early twenties were on the move and that particular kinds of mobility were a feature of modern girlhood. Whether out and about, travelling or migrating to cities, mobilities were often portrayed as empowering girls and facilitating transitions to adulthood; for these reasons, girls were encouraged to embrace opportunities to be going places, even if this meant challenging personal boundaries. This empowering new ideal came at a cost: youth, and the passage to adulthood, became riskier for girls. Only a thin line separated going places from out of place, as the most transformative mobilities took girls away from the parental home and other forms of adult supervision. There were long-established dangers posed by predatory men, but also new ones posed by going it alone—sexual and domestic exploitation, loneliness; risky mobilities were often less about travel than arriving someplace else. Financial resources helped safeguard girls, but survival increasingly depended on personal resources. Mobilities became a new axis of social differentiation, dividing the girls who were going places, literally and in terms of social status and cultural capital, from those who were out of place or stuck in place.

去的地方还是不合适的地方？1950 年代末和 1960 年代英国流动女孩和年轻女性的代表

空间流动性是战后青年史编纂中被忽视的一个维度，然而，正如本文所指出的，在 1950 年代末和 1960 年代，流动性成为重新定义年轻女性气质不可或缺的一部分。本文考察了针对女孩和年轻女性的媒体，以及全国性报纸和女性杂志，探讨了青少年和 20 岁出头的女孩在移动以及特殊类型的流动性是现代少女时代的特征这一观念的普及。无论是外出、旅行还是移居城市，流动性往往被描述为赋予女孩权力并促进向成年过渡；出于这些原因，鼓励女孩拥抱去不同地方的机会，即使这意味着挑战个人界限。这种赋予权力的新理想是有代价的：年轻，成年期对女孩来说风险更大。只有一条细线将要去的地方与不适当的地方分开，因为最具变革性的流动性使女孩远离父母的家和其他形式的成人监督。掠夺者带来的危险由来已久，但单独行动也带来了新的危险——性剥削和家庭剥削、孤独；与到达其他地方相比，冒险出行通常与旅行无关。财政资源有助于保护女孩，但生存越来越依赖于个人资源。流动性成为社会分化的新轴心，从字面上和社会地位和文化资本的角度来看，将要去某地的女孩与那些不合适或被困在原地的女孩分开。只有一条细线将要去的地方与不适当的地方分开，因为最具变革性的流动性使女孩远离父母的家和其他形式的成人监督。掠夺者带来的危险由来已久，但单独行动也带来了新的危险——性剥削和家庭剥削、孤独；与到达其他地方相比，冒险出行通常与旅行无关。财政资源有助于保护女孩，但生存越来越依赖于个人资源。流动性成为社会分化的新轴心，从字面上和社会地位和文化资本的角度来看，将要去某地的女孩与那些不合适或被困在原地的女孩分开。只有一条细线将要去的地方与不适当的地方分开，因为最具变革性的流动性使女孩远离父母的家和其他形式的成人监督。掠夺者带来的危险由来已久，但单独行动也带来了新的危险——性剥削和家庭剥削、孤独；与到达其他地方相比，冒险出行通常与旅行无关。财政资源有助于保护女孩，但生存越来越依赖于个人资源。流动性成为社会分化的新轴心，从字面上和社会地位和文化资本的角度来看，将要去某地的女孩与那些不合适或被困在原地的女孩分开。掠夺者带来的危险由来已久，但单独行动也带来了新的危险——性剥削和家庭剥削、孤独；与到达其他地方相比，冒险出行通常与旅行无关。财政资源有助于保护女孩，但生存越来越依赖于个人资源。流动性成为社会分化的新轴心，从字面上和社会地位和文化资本的角度来看，将要去某地的女孩与那些不合适或被困在原地的女孩分开。掠夺者带来的危险由来已久，但单独行动也带来了新的危险——性剥削和家庭剥削、孤独；与到达其他地方相比，冒险出行通常与旅行无关。财政资源有助于保护女孩，但生存越来越依赖于个人资源。流动性成为社会分化的新轴心，从字面上和社会地位和文化资本的角度来看，将要去某地的女孩与那些不合适或被困在原地的女孩分开。
