Abstract
How does it feel to live in the aftermath of the culturally ubiquitous postfeminist empowerment discourses of the Anglo-American contexts of the late 1990s and early 2000s? Have they delivered the prospective empowerment and happiness? Catherine McDermott examines these questions by exploring the affective dimension of postfeminism that constitute female subjectivity in girlhood coming-of-age films and TV series. A timely read amidst the unforeseen impasse and uncertainty of postfeminist empowerment discourses. Gain insights into the postfeminist legacy with this thought-provoking book.
