SUMMARY

"This collection is just what I've been looking for: a smart feminist analysis of the curious phenomenon of postfeminism. The editors and contributors provide ample and intelligent criticism of 'commodity feminism' and the lies of 'self-empowerment' in myriad makeover shows, plastic surgery ads, and female action films, without belittling the power, appeal, and sheer gusto of the myths of empowerment, diversity, and 'girl power' in contemporary culture.Interrogating Postfeminismdemonstrates that announcements of the 'death' of feminism have been premature."-Pamela Robertson Wojcik, author ofGuilty Pleasures: Feminist Camp from Mae West to MadonnaTasker, Yvonne is the author of 'Interrogating Postfeminism', published 2007 under ISBN 9780822340140 and ISBN 0822340143.
