Women, Feminism and Media is a brilliant interdisciplinary synthesis of decades of academic and activist debate. Not only does this book have a breath-taking theoretical and empirical scope but it also delivers complex ideas with an admirable clarity and situates them in the changing political and cultural contexts which are so crucial to understanding their development and significance. This is a first-class textbook and will become a must for students in media studies, women's studies and cultural studies alike.'
