have popular feminist books, and the public talk about them, worked to create Western feminism’s public identity? Feminist non-fictional bestsellers – from Betty Friedan’s
<i>The Feminine Mystique</i> to Caitlin Moran’s <i>How to be a Woman</i> – have contributed to, and often initiated, broader cultural conversations about feminism, women and gendered subjectivity; they have thus shaped how feminism has been publicly understood,
discussed and contested over the past 50 years. Such texts, the cultural work they do, and their celebrity feminist authors are then an important part of feminism’s popular history yet there are a number of questions, in terms of how they have helped to publicly
sculpt the meanings of modern feminism, that have been insufficiently addressed. What might these books and how they come to circulate reveal about the kinds of feminisms granted cultural legitimacy as well as who is authorised to speak for and about feminism
in the mediasphere? What changes can they enable us to track in the relationship between mainstream media culture and modern feminism? This seminar will discuss the guiding questions for this research project as well as canvass its possible directions and
parameters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
