The Feminist, the Housewife, and the Soap Opera, Paperback / softback Book

The Feminist, the Housewife, and the Soap Opera Paperback / softback

Part of the Oxford Television Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

The Feminist, the Housewife, and the Soap Opera traces the history of the feminist engagement with soap opera using a wide range of sources from programme publicity to interviews with key soap opera scholars.

The book reveals that feminist scholarship on soap opera was a significant site of which the identity 'feminist intellectual' was produced in dialogue with her imagined other, the soap opera watching housewife.

The book integrates personal autobiographical accounts within a broader history which traces both the move from 'women's liberation' to 'Feminism', and the acceptance of soap opera as a serious object of study.
