This is a history of the feminist engagement with soap opera which uses a wide range of sources including fascinating interviews with key soap opera scholars. It is the story of why feminists were interested in soap opera, and who they thought watched it. |
| Synopsis: |
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. |
