Abstract	This paper revisits the question of "voice" in the context of neo-liberal social and educational reform. "Voice" has been one of the key concepts of feminist and critical pedagogies in the theory and practice of producing social transformation. I argue in this paper, that the political effectiveness of this concept needs to be reconsidered at a time when the incitement to speak is one of the means by which neo-liberal subjectivities are produced and regulated. I trace the ways the metaphor Girl Number Twenty circulates in the feminist pedagogy literature, with the purpose of engaging in a dialogue about the particular challenges girl number twenty encounters in the context of the new hard times wrought by neo-liberalism and the shifting tensions between media, ideology and feminist teachers. The paper draws on ethnographic material from a school-community project that took place in Toronto, Canada with girls' aged 10-14 from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (Vietnamese, Cambodian, Portuguese, Afro-Caribbean and Chinese). (Contains 4 notes.) (Author).
