description: In this book an international team of contributors examines critically the relationship between television and women′s culture. Although they recognize that television frequently distorts and oppresses women′s experience, the authors avoid a simplistic manipulative view of the media. Instead they show how and why such different genres as game shows, police fiction and soap opera offer women opportunities for negotiation of their own meanings and their own aesthetic appreciation. Not for sale in Australia or New Zealand.
