Reading sex and the city
'Sex and the City' was an instant hit when it was first aired on American Home Box Office (HBO) channel in 1998: it has gone from cult phenomenon to award-winning success and now has a huge international fanbase. Among the issues explored by the contributors of the volume on the single young women Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha, are sex and modern relationships, male archetypes and the search for Mr Right: fashion and fashion journalism: third-wave feminism, citizenship and the single girl: television and fairytales and the crossover between television and film. The book also explores the fan culture surrounding the show and features contributors' personal responses to the Sex and the City location tour. It includes a complete episode guide to the first five series, a location guide to Manhattan and a map of Sex and the City's New York.- Creator

The marginalized majority
This book presents a cultural analysis of social discourses and lived experiences of single women, a demographic category that census figures indicate to be the statistical «norm» in the United States and Canada and yet, it remains a group that largely sees itself as marginalized. Each chapter looks at distinct features of social constructions of female singleness and/or lived experiences of single women. The theoretical framework is grounded in a cultural analysis, not only using the concepts thematically to more clearly understand the data, but also calling into question the utility of the concepts themselves.- Creator

The age of Oprah
Over the last two decades Oprah Winfrey's journey has taken her from talk show queen to one of the most important figures in popular culture. Through her talk show, magazine, website, seminars, charity work, and public appearances, her influence in the social, economic, and political arenas of American life is considerable and until now, largely unexamined. Peck traces Winfrey's growing cultural impact and illustrates the fascinating parallels between her road to fame and fortune and the political-economic rise of neoliberalism in the United States. While seeking to understand Oprah's ascent to near iconic status that she enjoys today, Peck's book provides a window into the intersection of American politics and culture over the past quarter century.- Creator

Divas on screen
This study places African American women's stardom in historical contexts by examining the star personae of five African American women: Dorothy Dandridge, Pam Grier, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Halle Berry. Interpreting each woman's celebrity as predicated on a brand of charismatic authority, Mask shows how these female stars have ultimately complicated the conventional discursive practices through which blackness and womanhood have been represented in commercial cinema, independent film, and network television. She considers Dandridge's status as a sexual commodity in films such as Tamango, revealing the contradictory discourses regarding race and sexuality in segregation-era American culture. Grier's feminist-camp performances in sexploitation pictures Women in Cages and The Big Doll House highlight a similar tension between representing African American women as both objectified stereotypes and powerful, self-defining icons. Mask reads Goldberg's transforming habits in Sister Act and The Associate as representative of her unruly comedic routines, while Winfrey's daily television performance as self-made, self-help guru echoes narratives of success. Finally, Mask analyzes Berry's success by acknowledging the ways in which Dandridge's career made Berry's possible.- Creator

Home sweat home
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.- Creator
