The Feminist Bestseller

Imelda Whelehan provides an overview of popular women's writing from the late 1960s to the present looking at how key feminist texts such as <i>The Women's Room Kinflicks</i> and <i>Fear of Flying</i> have influenced popular contemporary fiction such as <i>Bridget Jones' Diary</i> and <i>Sex and the City</i>. Whelehan reconsiders the links between the politics of feminist thought action and writing and creative writing over the past 30 years and suggests that even so-called 'post feminist' writing owes an enormous debt to feminism's second wave.
