Feminism in Popular Culture
Joanne Hollows
What is the relationship between feminism and popular culture? Can feminism learn from popular culture? This book explores these questions through a range of texts and sites - from news coverage, "The Vagina Monologues", "Ally McBeal" and "Sex and the City", sex documentaries and TV cooks, to breakdancing, beauty salons, and computer game-playing.
