Opis

Feminism Without Women examines the operation of postfeminism in popular culture, especially popular film, and in cultural studies. Examining a range of films from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Lethal Weapon and Three Men and a Baby, Modleski offers a broad perspective on the future of feminism. In particular, she shows how women as social subjects are once again being relegated to the margins of discourse and society.
