This book addresses the relationship between gossip, women, and
film with regards to the genre of chick flicks. Presenting two case
studies on the films Easy A (Will Gluck 2010) and Emma (Douglas
McGrath 1996), Dang demonstrates that hearsay plays a defining role
in the staging of these films and thus in the film experience.
While the lack of women's voices in the general public sphere
remains an issue, the female voice is very present in the
contemporary woman's film. In its analysis of gossip, this book
focuses on a form of communication that has traditionally been
assigned to women and is consequently disregarded. Dang provides a
theoretical framework for the understanding of speech acts in the
popular, yet undertheorized, genre of chick flicks.
