Unruly Girls, Unrepentant Mothers by Kathleen Rowe Karlyn

Continuing the celebration of female unruliness she began in The Unruly Woman, Karlyn explores how representations of mothers and daughters in popular films and television shows both reflect and contribute to current debates within and about feminism.
This is a remarkable and deeply trenchant book, absolutely immersed in the cultural phenomenon it seeks to examineKarlyn is a superb writer, and this lavishly illustrated, deeply thoughtful volume is a significant contribution to the existing literature on the subject. * Choice *
