This book delves into how the pervasive misogyny exposed by #MeToo has generated configurations of conspicuous feminism in shows like Big Little Lies, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Insecure and The Handmaid's Tale. These fictional depictions emphasize feminist themes relating to misogyny and abuse, the silencing and deceptions that are preserved in order to uphold gendered power relations, the challenging of established gender roles and identities, and the integration of intersectional perspectives. Bautista explores how these representations indicate a more complex awareness of systemic misogyny in popular television series than in previous eras, reflecting the impact of #MeToo's aims to uncover and confront gendered inequality. Scholars of television studies, gender studies, and popular culture will find this book of particular interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: #MeToo and Conspicuous Feminism: Manifesting Activism and Commercialism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Negotiating Feminism on Television\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Exposing Abuse and Misogyny – Big Little Lies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: ‘Something Other Than A Mother or Housewife’ – Challenging Notions of Gendered Space on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: mIncorporating Intersectionality and Inclusivity – Insecure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Resistance and Retaliation – The Handmaid’s Tale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Conclusion: Advocating and Commodifying Female Empowerment in Conspicuous Feminism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042021409111,"sku":"9781666923001","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666923001.jpg?v=1750952662","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/conspicuous-feminism-on-television-gender-power-and-metoo-9781666923001","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
