Customer Reviews

feminist book

good thought provoking book. examines pop-culture and influences on past generations. interesting history lesson.

engaging, insightful read

This is a provocative, interesting book that will appeal to readers of many stripes, whether they come to it from an interest in comic books, the history of women, or cultural studies.

Insightful and approachable

After having read this book, I was struck by the manner in which the material is presented. The author is able to navigate the complexities of cultural critique while writing in an inclusive manner. Those who may not be familiar with either feminism or cultural studies will information that is accessible without being trite. The work is also quite enjoyable; the author has a very gripping style: an acdemic page turner if you will.
