商品簡介
This study of the treatment of gender in the TV show Mad Men uses techniques of literary analysis and ideas from feminist and non-feminist discourses on women's work. The book begins with historical background for understanding the issues of women in the workplace in the 1960s, such as competition, career versus family, and birth control and reproductive rights. Subsequent discussion centers on the history of media and literary representations of secretarial culture, feminist awakening in the workplace, and the role of gender, motherhood, and social class for homemakers. The book's readership includes media scholars and feminist scholars. This revised edition includes a new conclusion on the end of the TV show.
