Postfemininities in Popular Culture

About the Author STÉPHANIE GENZ is Senior Lecturer in Media and Culture at Edge Hill University, UK. She specializes in contemporary gender and cultural theory. Her publications include Postfeminism: Culture Texts and Theories, Postfeminist Gothic: Critical Interventions in Contemporary Culture and Key Concepts in Popular Culture.  Product Description Addressing the contradictions surrounding modern-day femininity and its complicated relationship with feminism and postfeminism, this book examines a range of popular female and feminist icons and paradigms. It offers an innovative and forward-looking perspective on femininity and the modern female self. Review 'this book is an important addition to courses in feminist theory. However, since the work is grounded historically and draws on texts from popular culture, it has a wider appeal and would be useful in courses relating to women and history, popular culture, and entertainment history.' - Women's Studies in Communication
