Industry Reviews
In her highly illuminating Rhetoric of Femininity: Female Body Image, Media, and Gender Role Stress/Conflict, Donnalyn Pompper deploys a creative methodology of selecting 45 representative images from five of the 'seven sisters' US women's magazines, to engage a wide range of women on discussions about 'femininity.' This group of multi-generational, ethnically, class, ability, and religiously diverse women reveals widespread discrepancy between mediated images and women's experiences, ability, and satisfaction with their bodies in relation to those images. -- Angharad N. Valdivia, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Not only is femininity hard to define, but for women of all ages it is difficult to know how to be feminine in a world saturated with conflicting, impossible to achieve media-constructed images. This book offers a much needed interdisciplinary investigation of femininity coupled with a critical component - the voices of multigenerational women. It is a must read for scholars and women of all ages. -- Tia C. M. Tyree, Howard University
