62. The layeredness of the diva is remarked on by virtually everyone<br />

who writes about her. See, for example, Leonardi <strong>and</strong> Pope, The<br />

Diva’s Mouth, 9.<br />

66. As Mary Kearney writes, “Considerable feminist research has<br />

shown that around the age of twelve, <strong>and</strong> often earlier, girls are<br />

encouraged by a variety of individuals <strong>and</strong> social institutions to<br />

privilege the traditional practices of femininity over all other<br />

activities available to them. Moreover, studies show that female<br />

youth of this age are encouraged to identify as heterosexual<br />

beings <strong>and</strong> to position procreation <strong>and</strong> the attraction of male<br />

attention as the primary goals of their adult lives” (Girls Make<br />

Media [New York: Routledge, 2006], 5).<br />

67. In addition, these stories are often contextualized within the<br />

story of a girl’s trip to New York City. Susan Bennett argues that<br />

theater scholars need to attend to the tourist audience to truly<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> contemporary commercial theater (“Theatre/<br />

Tourism,” Theatre Journal 57 [2005]: 407 – 25).<br />
