Books by Tania Modleski

A work which considers how, and under what conditions, women might become the makers and not just the bearers of meaning; how, in other words, women can tell instead of being told. It discusses recent women's films and changes occurring in traditional women's genres such as romances and melodrama.

Modleski examines 'post-feminism' in popular culture particularly through popular film. The discussion focuses on issues such as surrogate motherhood, women and war, pornography and gay representation in the era of AIDS.
