Reviews

"""This book brings together cutting-edge research on feminism and misogyny in South Korea to give English language readers insight into one of the most vibrant and contested political reckonings playing out in the world today. This volume is a must-read for both academics and dedicated fans who wish to dive deeper into the context and meaning of cherished South Korean cultural products. A brilliant volume.""--Ruth Barraclough, Australian National University ""Mediating Gender introduces a range of examples of media in South Korea to the international scholarly community. It joins a growing body of literature that both engages with and challenges Anglophone-centered scholarship, potentially shifting the center. In doing so, the book makes a crucial contribution to global feminist scholarship by exemplifying the fluid and dynamic intersectionality of the local and the global, of the dominant and the marginal, and of the center and the periphery.""--Hyaeweol Choi, University of Iowa"
