Fictional femininity : new millennial narratives of middle-aged womanhood
thesis
posted on 2010-01-01, 00:00 authored by Jade McKayThis thesis examines gender-political representations of middle-aged, middle-class, white women in a sample of new millennial middlebrow novels. The findings demonstrate how popular contemporary fiction traffics a set of feminine norms that are complexly inflected by both feminism and the apolitical ethos of feminism.
