Opis

This volume explores the recent phenomenon of 'pop-feminism' and pop-feminist writing across North America, Britain, and Germany and examines what feminist politics look like in the twenty-first century.

Recenzje

Pop-Feminist Narratives clearly should be of interest to feminist scholars but also should be important for scholars invested in the study of neoliberalism, especially because Spiers addresses women writers at times left out of such conversations. ... With careful attention a variety of twenty-first-century authors and key late twentieth-century feminist and queer experimental writers, Spiers's work is an essential contribution to new studies of feminist non-fiction and fiction.
