Emily Westkaemper. Selling Women’s History
Emily Westkaemper’s Selling Women’s History traces the uses of historical material about women in various forms of popular culture—as well as in the professional discourses of women media workers—from 1910 through the 1970s. Wide-ranging at the expense of coherence, it is, at different moments, a chronicle of the rise of women in the advertising profession, a study of the use of women’s history to sell commercial products, and an account of how t…
Taking Trump Seriously
I planned to write this essay about the role of gender in the 2016 presidential election. Because I am a feminist scholar and because, like many women, I was excited by the prospect of a woman pres
Watching Women's Liberation, 1970
In 1970, ABC, CBS, and NBC—the “Big Three” of the pre-cable television era—discovered the feminist movement. From the famed sit-in at Ladies' Home Journal to multi-part feature stories on the movement's ideas and leaders, nightly news broadcasts covered feminism more than in any year before or since, bringing women's liberation into American homes. This book uses case studies of key media events to delve into the ways national TV news mediated th…
Repeating History and Learning From It
SlutWalks, a form of feminist protest objecting to the use of women's appearance as an explanation or excuse for rape, has produced a range of responses from feminists. Some praise the protests for energizing contemporary feminism, and others deride them as objectifying, racially insensitive, and frivolous. We argue that controversy over SlutWalks is grounded in long-standing conflicts within feminism over the proper focus for feminist political …
The Lessons of History
When Women's Studies in Communication (WSIC) was founded in 1977, the enterprise must have felt risky and daring as well as timely. The second wave of U.S. feminism was still in full swing, and the

Does it Take a Department to Raise a Child
Academic institutions generally do not do enough to support faculty members as they negotiate the responsibilities of family relationships. Most of us will eventually confront a situation in which the need to care for a child or an adult family member (such as a parent or partner) will challenge our ability to meet our obligations to our jobs. That such responsibilities fall disproportionately to women is a truism, and the consequences of that im…
The Sage Handbook of Gender and Communication
'The SAGE Handbook of Gender and Communication' begins from the premise that gender is, at once, an aspect of both individual identity and of social structure that dramatically and relentlessly shapes individual and collective life. Leading scholars review and evaluate the state of research on the topic
The Traffic in Men and the Fatal Attraction of Postfeminist Masculinity
This essay juxtaposes readings of three films—1975's The Stepford Wives, 1987's Fatal Attraction, and the 2004 version of The Stepford Wives—to suggest that feminist media critics' understanding of the dynamics of feminist, postfeminist, and “post-postfeminist” discourses in popular culture should include attention to the rhetorical and political implications of representations of men and masculinity

Fixing feminism
On May 26, 1970, ABC broadcast the first television documentary treatment of the women's liberation movement. Part of a wave of media attention that second‐wave feminism received in the spring of 1970, the documentary was produced and reported by Marlene Sanders, a reporter sympathetic to the movement who hoped that the documentary would correct its image problems. Three key rhetorical moves in the documentary—form, framing, and refutation—are us…
Ellen , Television, and the Politics of Gay and Lesbian Visibility
The discourses constructing the coming-out of Ellen DeGeneres/Ellen Morgan, star of and lead character in the ABC television sitcom Ellen, were permeated with implications of authenticity and liberation, illustrating the continuing power of the confessional ritual described by Michele Foucault in The History of Sexuality. In contrast to the popular interpretation of the coming-out as an escape from repression, media treatment of the Ellen phenome…
Spectacle, spectatorship, and gender anxiety in television news coverage of the 1970 women's strike for equality
This essay examines television news coverage of the August 2 6, 19 70 Women's Strike for Equality, the first major media event of the second wave offeminism in the U.S. It explores three levels on which the news reports on the three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC), rely on notions of women and visual pleasure: first, in their positioning of the Strike as sheer spectacle; second, in their verbal and visual framing of the Strike as absurdist…

Feminine style” and political judgment in the rhetoric of Ann Richards
This essay argues for a revised perspective of the theory of “feminine style” developed by Karlyn Kohrs Campbell to explain the characteristics of historical feminist rhetorical action. Using a case study of contemporary feminine style in the political discourse of Texas Governor Ann Richards, the authors argue that the formal characteristics of feminine style, such as reliance on concrete reasoning, personal disclosure, and audience participatio…
Performance of feminine discourse in designing women
The performance of feminine discourse in the television situation comedy Designing Women blurs distinctions between public discourse and the often devalued “private talk” of women. Through narratives that are driven by the talk among four women, Designing Women emphasizes the potential of women's talk for challenging patriarchal definitions and attitudes and for empowering women who participate in it. As a public text, Designing Women also contai…
Hegemony, feminist criticism and the Mary Tyler Moore Show
This essay claims that the feminist premise of The Mary Tyler Moore Show is contradicted by the patriarchal relationships and role definitions developed within its narrative, hegemonic devices that are bolstered by the conventions of the situation comedy genre. The conclusion explores the ideological tension produced by the show's narrative that allows for differing evaluations of the program's message, and discusses the implications for feminist…
