From domestic goddess to desperate housewife, What a Girl Wants?
explores the importance and centrality of postfeminism in
contemporary popular culture. Focusing on a diverse range of media
forms, including film, TV, advertising and journalism, Diane Negra
holds up a mirror to the contemporary female subject who finds
herself centralized in commodity culture to a largely unprecedented
degree at a time when Hollywood romantic comedies, chick-lit, and
female-centred primetime TV dramas all compete for her attention
and spending power. The models and anti-role models analyzed in the
book include the chick flick heroines of princess films, makeover
movies and time travel dramas, celebrity brides and bravura
mothers, 'Runaway Bride' sensation Jennifer Wilbanks, the sex
workers, flight attendants and nannies who maintain such a high
profile in postfeminist popular culture, the authors of
postfeminist panic literature on dating, marriage and motherhood
and the domestic gurus who propound luxury lifestyling as a
showcase for the 'achieved' female self.
