I have listed a partial bibliography of useful books on subjects
related to Girls Underground, as well as some websites on relevant
folklore and mythology.
SUGGESTED READING:
Valente, Catherynne M. "Follow
the Yellow Brick Road: Katabasis and the Female Hero in Alice in
Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and The Nutcracker Ballet,"
presented at Wiscon, Feminism in SF/F Convention, 2005.
[This is the
closest discussion of what could be seen as the Girls Underground
archetype that I have ever seen outside my own work. A fascinating
essay comparing these three popular stories to the myths of Persephone
and Inanna. Can be
found on her website.]
