Girly girl is a term for a girl or woman who presents herself in a traditionally feminine way. This may include wearing pink, using make-up, using perfume, have long hair, have long nails, dressed in dresses, skirts, pantyhoses and heels, and engaging in activities that are traditionally associated with femininity, such as talking about relationships.[1]
The term is often used in a derogatory manner, but it can also be used in a more positive way, especially when considering the fluidity of gender roles.[2] 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 or strategic purposes.[3][4]
