Making Feminist Media: Third-Wave Magazines on the Cusp of the Digital Age - Groeneveld, Elizabeth

As New; Bringing together interviews with magazine editors, research from zine archives, and analysis of the advertising, articles, editorials, and letters to the editor, the author shows that the publications provide a feminist counter-public sphere in which the competing interests of their stake-holders - editors, writers, readers, and advertisers - can interact. The magazines' stories and strategies, their successes and struggles, not only represent contemporary feminism but create and shape feminist cultures. This book argues that reading feminist magazines is much more than the consumption of information or entertainment: it is a profoundly intimate and political activity that shapes how readers understand themselves and each other as feminist thinkers.
