Feminism Without Women - Culture and Criticism in a "Postfeminist" Age (Paperback)

"Feminism Without Women" examines the operation of "postfeminism" in popular culture, especially popular film, and in cultural studies. Examining a range of films from "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" to "Lethal Weapon" and "Three Men and a Baby", Modleski offers a broad perspective on the future of feminism. In particular, she shows how women as social subjects are once again being relegated to the margins of discourse and society. The text is a response to the shift within feminist theory from "gynocritics" (a woman-centred critical practice) to increasingly male-oriented "gender studies". This move has been accompanied by feminist/philosophical attempts to abolish the very category of "woman".
