The American Lolita Subculture: An Exploration of Self-Authentication, Postmodernism, and Social Belonging
Abstract
Although many subcultures have been studied, the majority of the research that exists has focused on male subcultural groups or male members of subcultures. Female dominated subcultures, like the Lolitas, have not received the same degree of attention. Thus, the goal of this qualitative study was to address the gender gap that exists within the subculture and dress literature.
