Description for Feminist Popular Fiction
Paperback. Num Pages: 206 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DSA; DSBH; JFC; JFFK; JFSJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 203 x 127. .
An examination of feminist writers' appropriation of a range of popular genres: detective fiction, science fiction, romance and the fairy tale. The author argues that feminists can successfully appropriate all four genres because genres, as cultural productions, have accommodated the cultural changes brought about by second-wave feminism. The book provides a history of each of the genres, reinstating women's contributions in those histories, and a comprehensive review of the feminist critical debates on each of the genres.
