Opis

The first to substantially bring together the way in which time has come to matter in both feminist and queer disciplines, this book turns to genre and generic timing to argue that popular feminist figures and genres offer feminism surprisingly queer models of time. Through methodologically creative readings, McBean reads popular literary and cultural figures and texts from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries alongside queer and feminist temporality theory.
