Description

Traces the history of the feminist engagement with soap opera using a wide range of sources from programme publicity to interviews with key scholars. The book reveals that feminist scholarship on soap opera was a significant site of which the identity feminist intellectual was produced in dialogue with her imagined other, the soap opera-watching housewife. The book integrates personal autobiographical accounts within a broader history which traces both the move from women's liberation to feminism, and the acceptance of soap opera as a serious object of study.
