Why Any Woman - Keira V Williams - Bog

"Why Any Woman explores pop culture by and about southern women in the 1980s and 1990s in search of forms of regional feminism. Through an examination of the play Crimes of the Heart, the novels Ugly Ways and The Color Purple, the film Thelma & Louise, and the television shows Designing Women and The Oprah Winfrey Show, Williams makes the case that southern women's pop culture was a vital source of various types of feminism during the era of the neoconservative 'backlash.'"--
