'Alison Harvey offers an excellent introduction to contemporary gender-based media research while advocating an ethical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary approach that attends to possible sites for action. Clearly presenting the key concerns, methods, and theories at play in feminist media criticism, and insightfully revealing both the challenges of such work and the potential opportunities that arise from it, Harvey provides an informative, well-crafted roadmap for the newbie feminist media scholar as well as a refreshingly provocative update for those already working in this area.'
Mary Celeste Kearney, University of Notre Dame
'Drawing on diverse scholarship and emphasizing intersectionality, this is a timely and necessary book that demonstrates how feminist media studies should approach our rapidly changing media environments. Alison Harvey succinctly explicates methods committed to social justice, and signposts key concepts in a student-friendly way.'
Aristea Fotopoulou, University of Brighton
