Description

This book examines how women are discussed and depicted visually in popular media. Stressing the importance of a historical approach, the text includes a detailed study of continuities and changes in dominant myths of femininity, especially in the transition from the modern to the postmodern period and explores the influences of feminism and consumerism.
