The question of the representation of women in the media has been
an important one for feminists over the past three decades. This
diverse collection of essays represents three major trends in
feminist media studies: the liberal feminist perspective, which
focuses on the media's tendency to misrepresent and oppress women;
the postmodern perspective, which illustrates the ways in which
women can participate in, enjoy, and sometimes subvert the dominant
media; and the more recent attempts to identify and challenge the
subtle backlash that threatens to obliterate feminist gains. The
contributors cover a wide range of subjects, from advertisements
for women's stockings to the life and death of Princess Diana.
