description: This levely and readable book reassesses how women are talked about and constructed visually across a range of popular media. Arguing for the importance of a historical approach, it examines continuities and changes in dominant myths of femininity, especially in the transition from the modern to the postmodern period. The influences of feminism and consumerism on these developments are given particular attention.
