Media Depictions of Brides, Wives, and Mothers, edited by Alena
Amato Ruggerio, explores how television, film, the internet, and
other media variously perpetuate gender stereotypes. The
contributors to this volume bring a variety of feminist rhetorical
and media criticism approaches from across the communication
discipline to their analyses of how television, film, news
coverage, and the Internet shape our expectations of the
performance of women's identities. This collection includes studies
of Bridezillas, Jon & Kate Plus 8, Sex and the City, Sarah
Palin, Nancy Pelosi, The Devil Wears Prada, Practical Magic,
"momtini" blogs, and Mad Men fan websites. Readers will learn to
apply the insights from each chapter to their own sets of myths,
stereotypes, and assumptions about gendered roles, and to recognize
the possibilities for both liberation and domination when women's
practices of marrying, mating, and mothering are represented and
misrepresented in the media. This collection is an essential
contribution to media studies and criticism of gender stereotypes
in contemporary culture. Read the author's recent interview with
Literary Ashland. You can also visit the author's website here.
