Description de l'ouvrage :
Mothers on American television takes an in-depth look at how motherhood is represented on some of the most popular television series produced this century. Adopting a feminist, Marxist, cultural studies and psychoanalytical approach, the book offers a history of the positioning of mothers within American society. It provides detailed analysis of The Sopranos, Sex and the City, The Handmaid's Tale and more, while reflecting on the newspaper 'mommy wars', employment patterns and alternative views of motherhood.

À propos de l'auteur :
Kim Akass is Professor of Radio, Television and Film at Rowan University

Revue de Presse :
'Akass (Rowan Univ.) interrogates the representation of mothers and motherhood in prestigious American television series. She argues that despite the existence of more women showrunners and more television series featuring women, the objectification of women and the reinforcement of patriarchal norms and women's inequality have not diminished.'
