No longer just a cult classic, Gilmore Girls is a cultural staple
for TV fans. Airing from 2000–2007, Gilmore Girls focused on the
relationship between thirty-something single mom Lorelai and her
teenage daughter, Rory. While exploring themes of family, romantic
love, friendship, and life’s choices, this quirky show featured
fast-paced dialogue, funny quips, and a steady stream of
pop-culture references. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Gilmore Girls served as a launching pad for
the careers of its stars—including Lauren Graham, Melissa
McCarthy, Alexis Bledel, Jared Padalecki, and Milo Ventimiglia. The
series’ popularity was so enduring that ten years after its
initial run, a revival season was released on Netflix. In Gilmore
Girls: A Cultural History, Lara C. Stache and Rachel Davidson offer
an engaging analysis of the show’s seven seasons and revival. The
authors examine how the show serves as a representation of American
culture and politics, reflects complexity within multiple
mother-daughter dynamics, and employed literature, movies, and
music to drive the dialogue and plot. They also explore how the
choices made in the series reflect social values of the time,
reinforce and challenge traditional ideas of gender and feminism,
and unpack the cultural significance of this endearing series. As
both a mirror and a construction of contemporary American culture,
the series achieved critical accolades and became a cult classic,
at once both unassuming and dynamic. This book offers new ways for
fans to appreciate the appeal and value of this binge-worthy
favorite as part of the larger culture in which it exists. Gilmore
Girls: A Cultural History will be of interest to fans of the show
as well as to scholars and students of television, media, and
American popular culture.
