Feminism & the Politics of Reading

by Lynne Pearce

Book Overview

"Feminism and the Politics of Reading" is the first major work to theorize the processes and practices of reading within a gendered context. Looking at what it is to be a self-conscious "feminist reader," and at what happens when that feminism is "off-duty," Lynne Pearce engages with a wide range of literary and visual texts to explore the complex personal and political implications of what we do every time we read.
