“It is important to recognize the embodied erotics and transformative labor underscoring female consumers so long gone that we may feel tempted to erase their physicality. It is important to recall that these original moviegoing girls labored with their hands and loved the pictures with their whole body while in the throes of adolescence. The personal archives film historians encounter today are the spoils of these fans’ exploits—they are a concrete collection of life fragments, of fleeting attractions, not unlike the film ephemera that form them. Scrapbooks are what survived after the body did not. But fan artifacts are not separate from the body, nor were they when first created over a century ago.”
