Description
A fearlessly feminist guide to romantic comedies through the ages. Discover the hidden feminist messages in your favorite movies. You can love romcoms and be a feminist!
We all love romcoms. They keep us on the edge of our seats, waiting for the two leads to fall madly in love. But what you may not realize is that they contain profound feminist messages that have the power to re-shape how we think about sexism and women's rights. In this fascinating guide, film journalist and Bechdel Test Fest founder Corrina Antrobus writes about how romcoms reflect feminism in the modern age. These underrated, groundbreaking movies have shone a spotlight or shifted narratives on topics from body positivity to abortion and from faking orgasms to workplace equality. Antrobus discusses all the best feminist moments, big and small, in the most famous romcoms of all time, including:- When Harry Met Sally, which broke taboos around faking orgasms
- 10 Things I Hate About You, which embraced female rebellion
- Mamma Mia!, which sang in the face of slut shaming
- My Best Friend's Wedding, which showed us it's OK to be irrational
- Clueless, which proved women can be fashionable, feminine and feminist!
- Bridesmaids, which brought female-powered comedy to the forefront of Hollywood
These films and 94 others are explored in this expert guide. Arm yourself with this beautifully illustrated guide to the best feelgood movies that have taught a generation of women and girls all about love, humor and their identity. Each page includes recommendations for similar films, making it the perfect companion for any feminist romcom fan.
