Reviews

This lively, readable book makes a vital contribution to contemporary literature about gender, media and culture. Building on a growing body of work on the affective dimensions of everyday life, Catherine McDermott asks how postfeminism feels, charting a shift from the can-do, aspirational tropes of the 1990s and early 2000s to something more complex and ambivalent. Feel-Bad Postfeminism deserves to be widely read! -- Rosalind Gill, City University of London, UK
