The writings focus on art, film, architecture, popular culture, new media and other visual fields from a feminist perspective, combining classic texts by leading feminist thinkers with polemical new pieces. Articles are grouped into thematic sections, addressing: representation: difference: disciplines/strategies: mass culture/media interventions: body: technology. Each section opens with an introduction by the editor. Amongst others: Why have there been no great women artists? / Linda Nochlin. P. 229-233
In this collection of essays, contributors explore the construction of women as homemakers and the erasure of household labor from the middle-class home in popular representations of housework. They concentrate on such matters as the impact of second-wave feminism on families and gender relations: of popular culture—especially in film, television, magazines, and advertising—on our views of what constitutes home life and gender relations: and of changing views of sexuality and masculinity within the domestic sphere.
