Though often dismissed as frivolous or excessively emotional, feminized culture in reality offers compelling insights into the American experience of the early twenty-first century. \u003cp\u003eElana Levine brings together writings from feminist critics that chart the current terrain of feminized pop cultural production. Analyzing everything from \u003ci\u003eFifty Shades of Grey\u003c\/i\u003e to Pinterest to pregnancy apps, contributors examine the economic, technological, representational, and experiential dimensions of products and phenomena that speak to, and about, the feminine. As these essays show, the imperative of productivity currently permeating feminized pop culture has created a generation of texts that speak as much to women's roles as public and private workers as to an impulse for fantasy or escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncisive and compelling, \u003ci\u003eCupcakes, Pinterest, and Ladyporn\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on contemporary women's engagement with an array of media forms in the context of postfeminist culture and neoliberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elana Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252039572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252039577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2016","brand":"Elana Levine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086443917567,"sku":"9780252039577","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf4900c9-a00f-46af-b9ed-ccb2416d9470.jpg?v=1769094703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cupcakes-pinterest-and-ladyporn-elana-levine-9780252039577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
