Television for Women (eBook, ePUB)

New Directions

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Television for Women is a timely intervention into the broader analysis of television across genre, across time, and from a range of international perspectives.

The book opens with a Preface from Charlotte Brunsdon, a leading figure in feminist television studies, followed by an introduction by the editors explaining the continued salience of critical analysis of gendered television and its relationship to the formulations of television and women and also television by women.

Bringing together established and emergent scholars the collection re-invigorates the field of feminist television studies by placing the question of television's address to women at the heart of all its contributions.
