What is the relationship between feminism and popular culture? Has there been a "backlash" against feminism, or is feminism incorporated into the mainstream? Can feminism learn from popular culture? This book explores these questions through a diverse range of texts and sites, including:Bridget Jones, African-American music videos, news coverage, radio shows, theScreamtrilogy,Sex and the City, hip hop, and more. The bookdoes not assume that popular culture could benefit from a feminist "makeover," instead, it analyzes how different meanings of feminism have been negotiated within popular culture and how popular culture has made sense of feminism.Hollows, Joanne is the author of 'Feminism in Popular Culture ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781845202224 and ISBN 1845202228.
