Sex, Feminism and Lesbian Desire in Women's Magazines

Kate Farhall

4.9/5 (22414 ratings)

Description:This book builds on previous feminist texts that draw links between the social acceptance of feminist claims and media outputs, to draw parallels across five decades between changes in sex and relationship content and the ebbs and flows of the feminist movement.This analysis reveals where substantive changes can be identified - in spite of an enduring commitment to hetero-monogamy - these changes rise and fall in tandem with feminism. By demonstrating this empirical relationship between cultural products and feminist organising the book validates an assumption that has rarely been tested: that a feminist social milieu improves cultural narratives about sexuality for women. Sex, Feminism and Lesbian Desire builds on ground-breaking feminist texts such as Susan Faludi's 'Backlash' to present an empirically focussed, comprehensive study interrogating changes in content over the lifetime of women's magazines. By charting the representation of sex and relationships in two women's magazines - Cosmopolitan and Cleo - since the 1970s through an analysis of nearly 6,000 magazine pages and 1400 articles, this timely work interrogates - and ultimately complicates - this apparent linear progression of feminism.This book is suitable for researchers and students in Women and Gender Studies, Queer Studies, LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Cultural Studies and Sociology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
