Overview
What is the relationship between feminism and popular culture? Has there been a 'backlash' against feminism or is feminism now part of contemporary 'commonsense'? Can feminism learn from popular culture? Feminism in Popular Culture explores these questions through a diverse range of texts and sites - from news coverage, The Vagina Monologues, the Scream trilogy, Ally McBeal and Sex and the City, sex documentaries and TV cooks, to breakdancing, beauty salons and computer game-playing. Feminism in Popular Culture does not assume that popular culture could benefit from a feminist 'makeover'. Rather, it analyses how different meanings of feminism have been negotiated within popular culture - how popular culture has made sense of feminism.
