- Description
- This book explores the influence of postfeminist culture on cinematic representations of female biographies through an analysis of four films that represent the lives of women who are established members of the second-wave feminist canon: Sylvia [Sylvia Plath] (Christine Jeffs, 2003), 'Frida' [Frida Kahlo] (Julie Taymor, 2002), 'The Hours' [Virginia Woolf] (Stephen Daldry, 2002), and 'Becoming Jane' [Jane Austen] (Julian Jarrold, 2006).
