Description

Description

Celebrity and the Feminist Blockbuster by Anthea Taylor explores how feminist authors have shaped the public identity of modern feminism. From the 1960s to the present, these women have actively worked to manufacture their public personas, using bestselling works of non-fiction as a platform for their message. The book examines the role of celebrity in feminist politics, arguing that Western celebrity feminism is distinct from other forms of stardom. Taylor demonstrates how digital media has augmented the blockbuster phenomenon, and why it remains crucial to feminist celebrification. This study advances celebrity studies by placing the figure of the feminist front and centre, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in gender, popular feminism, and the politics of renown.
