- Description
- This book is an introductory text on postfeminism. It provides an overview of postfeminism's underpinnings and critical contexts, different perceptions of and theories related to it and popular media representations that have been characterised as 'postfeminist'. The authours contextualise postfeminism by considering its position within feminist histories and its emergence in popular culture, academia and politics. They analyse a number of case studies, from popular icons like David Beckham and Lara Croft to the underground punk movement Riot Grrl and the controversial American women's rights activist Periel Aschenbrand. Included are chapters on the Backlash, New Traditionalism, New Feminism, Girl power and Chick-lit, Do-Me Feminism and Raunch Culture, Feminism, Postcolonial Feminism, Queer Feminism, Men and Feminism, Cyberfeminism, Third Wave Feminism, and Feminism and Enterprise Culture.
