Loving With a Vengeance: Mass-Produced Fantasies for Women,
This review is from: Loving With a Vengeance: Mass-Produced Fantasies for Women (Hardcover)
This is a great book for anyone interested in contemporary women's studies. Modleski looks at women's entertainment genres (soap operas, romances, gothic novels, and women's film) that have previously been over-looked by critics and theorists alike. Modleski gives a convincing argument for resistence within the orthodox plot that shows how these seemingly simple-minded story lines offer women a chance to escape subjectivity and find a place of power in a patriarchal society. Though Modelski's argument can be a bit hard to wade through, it is worth taking the extra time to understand her point. It will influence the way you look at popular women's entertainment forever.
