In the decades since Lois has appeared in multiple adaptations, from her own comic book to various films and television shows, and millions of women have seen—and continue to see—her as a role model.This book explores the many incarnations of this empowering American icon.

- Description
- The cinema of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), that is, the cinema of its state-run studio DEFA, portrayed gender and sexuality in complex and contradictory ways. This collection addresses the treatment of gender and sexuality in the productions of DEFA across genres (from shorts and feature films to educational videos, television productions, and documentaries) and in light of social, political, and cultural contexts. It also investigates subjects, including films and directors that have received little scholarly attention and nonconformist representations of gender and sexual embodiments, identifications, and practices.

- Description
- With the emergence of popular culture phenomena such as reality television, blogging, and social networking sites, it is important to examine the representation of Black women and the potential implications of those images, messages, and roles. This collection features research from scholars interested in the relationship among media, society, perceptions, and Black women. The book serves as a compilation of “hot topics” including ABC’s Scandal, Beyoncé’s Visual Album, and Oprah’s Instagram page. Other themes have roots in reality television, film, and hip hop, as well as issues of gender politics, domestic violence, and colorism. The discussion also extends to the presentation and inclusion of Black women in advertising, print, and digital media.

The final section “Changing the Image,” focuses on efforts to replace masculine assumptions with constructive approaches to imagining women.

- Description
- As portrayals of heroic women gain ground in film, television, and other media, their depictions are breaking free of females as versions of male heroes or simple stereotypes of acutely weak or overly strong women. Although heroines continue to represent the traditional roles of mothers, goddesses, warriors, whores, witches, and priestesses, these women are no longer just damsels in distress or violent warriors. The representations and interpretations of these heroines are important reflections of popular culture that simultaneously empower and constrain real life women. Chapters about a.o. Harry Potter, Bollywood and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
