| Summary |
In this book, Tania modleski examines 'the myth of postfeminism' and its operation in popular culture, especially popular film and cultural studies. In a series of essays scrutinizing feminist and post-structuralist positions, Modleski shows how women are once again being relegated to the margins of discourse and society, only now, ironically, they are in danger of being marginalized by feminism itself |
