Lorna Jowett is a Senior Lecturer in American Studies at University College Northampton in the U.K. and a devoted Buffy fan.
"A highly nuanced, jargon-free discussion of the nature, role and
place of gender in Buffy. Anyone who thinks Buffy is post-feminist,
feminist, or just a silly television show needs to read this
book."--James B. South, editor of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Philosophy
"A highly nuanced, jargon-free discussion of the nature, role and
place of gender in Buffy. Anyone who thinks Buffy is post-feminist,
feminist, or just a silly television show needs to read this
book."--James B. South, editor of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Philosophy
"The book is not only an excellent introduction to gender studies
but also contains an insightful, original, and erudite chapter
about the men of Buffy. It is a must-have for all serious Buffy
fans and scholars. An impressive achievement."--Justine
Larbalestier, author of The Battle of the Sexes in Science
Fiction
"Ultimately, Jowett's analysis of the genres and gendered
negotiations of Buffy provide both a useful introduction to gender
analysis of popular culture artifacts and a commentary on
femininities and masculinities in post-feminist society. Because
Jowett includes an introduction to the terminology of gender
studies and grounds her analysis in the specific events and
characters of the show, her book would make a good resource for
undergraduate courses in gender studies or pop culture analysis,
provided the book is paired with clips from the television show
(all seven seasons are currently available on VHS and DVD)."--Terri
A. Fredrick, National Women's Studies Association Journal, Summer
2006
