Rezensionen

"Inness discerns a broad cultural ambivalence about changing gender roles. The influence strong heroines hold in young women's lives, she argues, is not to be underestimated."--Publishers Weekly "The author's arguments are clearly drawn, and themed chapters make her impressive research easy to navigate."--San Jose Mercury News "In Tough Girls Sherrie Innes examines the ways that popular culture helps to shape and change broader social views of women. . . . This book will appeal to anyone interested in the representation of women in the media. It will be of use to students of media, gender and sports studies; indeed, anyone interested in gender roles."--International Journal of the History of Sport "Drawing on an encyclopedic, first-hand knowledge of popular cultural texts . . . [Inness's] treatment of the subject is comprehensive and accessible."--Choice
