Celebrity And The Feminist Blockbuster

In The First Book-length Study Of Celebrity Feminism, Anthea Taylor Convincingly Argues That The Most Visible Feminists In The Mediasphere Have Been Authors Of Bestselling Works Of Non-fiction: Feminist 'blockbusters'. Celebrity And The Feminist Blockbuster Explores How The Authors Of These Popular Feminist Books Have Shaped The Public Identity Of Modern Feminism, In Some Cases Over Many Decades. Maintaining A Distinction Between Women Who Are Famous Because Of Their Feminism And Those Who Later Add Feminism To Their 'brand', Taylor Contends That Western Celebrity Feminism, As A Political Mode Of Public Subjectivity, Cannot In Any Simple Way Be Seen As Homologous With Other Forms Of Stardom.
