The Feminist Bestseller by Imelda Whelehan
Imelda Whelehan provides an overview of popular women's writing from the late 1960s to the present, looking at how key feminist texts such as The Women's Room, Kinflicks and Fear of Flying have influenced popular contemporary fiction such as Bridget Jones' Diary and Sex and the City. Whelehan reconsiders the links between the politics of feminist thought, action and writing and creative writing over the past 30 years and suggests that even so-called 'post feminist' writing owes an enormous debt to feminism's second wave.
'An interesting and useful addition to the field' - Merja Makinen, Principal Lecturer in English Literary Studies, Middlesex University, UK 'The strengths of this book are its range and its breezy and accessible conversational manner.' - Mia Carter, Associate Professor, University of Texas at Austin, USA 'The Feminist Bestseller provides a thought-provoking commentary on how young women respond to their history and the types of representation of themselves they choose.' - Antonia Byatt, THES
