- Description
- This book is about the reshaping of women's lives, loves and dreams since 1950. In this period Walt Disney's film Cinderella gave expression to popular ideas of romance, marriage was a major determinant of female life chances and teenage girls dreamed of Mr Right and happy endings. It ends with the success of Disney's Frozen (2013), a film with relevance to very different times. The book shows how women's expectations and emotional landscapes have shifted since 1950, considering among others the way women's changing life experiences have been mirrored in new expectations about marriage, intimacy and family life and the way new forms of independence through education and work altered women's life ambitions.

- Description
- The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oates’s recent fiction. While the first and second wave of feminism repudiated motherhood, the third wave claimed the right to enjoy it. The present fourth wave is now reviving the reservations about motherhood of the first two waves. This book demonstrates how Oates’s writing reflects these shifts and how Oates takes up and transforms feminist standpoints in her work without writing conventional feminist literature.
