From Beyonce's Lemonade to The Force Awakens to the 2016
Ghostbusters reboot, the entertainment industry seems to be
embracing the power of women like never before. But with more
feminist content comes more feminist criticism - and it feels as if
there's always something to complain about. Dianna E. Anderson's
incisive Problematic takes on the stereotype of the perpetually
dissatisfied feminist. Too often feminist criticism has come to
mean seeing only the bad elements of women-centric pop culture and
never the good. Anderson suggests that our insistence on feminist
ideological purity leads to shallow criticism and ultimately hurts
the movement. Instead, she proposes new, more nuanced forms of
feminist thought for today's culture, illustrated by examples from
across the spectrum of popular music, movies, and TV, including
Lena Dunham, Nicki Minaj, and even One Direction. While grounding
her inquiry in pop culture media and topics, Anderson draws on
concepts of feminist theory to show how we can push for continued
cultural change while still acknowledging the important feminist
work being done in the pop culture sphere today.
