Description
Feminist Media From the Second Wave to the Digital Age explores the complex relationship between feminist media production and capitalism. Claire Sedgwick examines how second wave feminist magazines, such as Spare Rib, were shaped by their cultural economies and the assumed readership of these publications. The book reveals a crucial link between feminist media production in the 'second wave' and contemporary forms of feminist media activism. By analysing the impact of capitalist publishing on these magazines, Sedgwick sheds new light on the evolution of feminist media and its ongoing relevance today. This study offers a nuanced understanding of the intersections between feminism, media, and capitalism, providing valuable insights for scholars and researchers in these fields.
