      By Gay, Roxane
       [2014], Harper Perennial Call No: 814.6 G285b   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural observers of her generation, Roxane Gay. "Pink is my favorite color. I used to say my favorite color was black to be cool, but it is pink, all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I'm not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue." In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture. Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better.

      -- Hitchcock and feminist theory.
      By Modleski, Tania, 1949-
       2005., Specialized, Routledge Call No: 791.43 M692w   Edition: 2nd ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Tania Modleski's The Women Who Knew Too Much has become a classic work in feminist film theory and criticism. By looking at seven important films by Alfred Hitchcock, Modleski considers the emotional and psychic investments of men and women in female characters whose stories often undermine the mastery of the cinematic Master of Suspense." "The Women Who Knew Too Much argues for a richer understanding of films - and Hitchcock's films in particular - as they concern the female spectator as well as the male spectator." "For this edition, Tania Modleski has written a new chapter in which she discusses the last fifteen years of Hitchcock criticism, and the continued struggle for recognition of a feminist perspective on the filmmaker's work."--BOOK JACKET.

      By Chocano, Carina
       2017., General, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Call No: 305.42 C545y    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Who is "the girl"? Watch movies, TV shows, magazines, and ads and the message is both clear and not: she is a sexed-up sidekick, a princess waiting to be saved, a morally infallible angel with no opinions of her own. She's whatever the hero needs her to be in order to become himself. She's an abstraction, an ideal, a standard, a mercurial phantom. Chocano blends formative personal stories with insightful and emotionally powerful analysis. Moving from Bugs Bunny to Playboy Bunnies, Flashdance to Frozen, the progressive '70s through the backlash '80s, the glib '90s, and the pornified aughts - and at stops in between - she explains how growing up in the shadow of "the girl" taught her to think about herself and the world and what it means to raise a daughter in the face of these contorted reflections. Chocano shows that our identities are more fluid than we think, and certainly more complex than anything we see on any kind of screen. Carina Chocano is a frequent contributor to the New York Times Magazine and Elle, and her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Vulture, Rolling Stone, and others. Her humor book, Do You Love Me, or Am I Just Paranoid?, was published in 2004. She lives in Los Angeles."--Provided by publisher.
