Love lives
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.- Creator

The naked result
This book addresses the transformation of the exotic dance industry, focusing on the ways that corporate chains have changed both the performance and reception of striptease. The author, drawing on her own experience as an exotic dancer, examines the ways that striptease embodies conflicting notions of race, class, and female sexuality, and how the exotic dance industry deploys these differences to codify and commodify our erotic imagination. With case studies.- Creator

Motherhood and self-realization in the four waves of American feminism and Joyce Carol Oates's recent fiction

Motherhood and self-realization in the four waves of American feminism and Joyce Carol Oates's recent fiction
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.- Creator
