Review:
"Ross and Byerly present nine outstanding essays by leading feminists who document both media misrepresentations of women and women's interventions to change the media." Eileen R. Meehan, Louisiana State University


"This international collection is rooted in political activism and feminist theory, a rare combination. With historical and theoretical background, key terms, and discussion questions, it's a valuable and provocative resource." Lana Rakow, University of North Dakota

"To any woman who has ever felt oppressed, repressed or supressed, Women and the Media: International Perspectives is a must read. [...T]hose of us who have the power of the voice owe it to our sisters in other countries to learn about the media's misrepresentations of women and initiate change. Sisters, unite-and read on!" Eureka Street

From the Back Cover:
In the last few decades, feminist media scholars have been active in revealing the complex ways in which the gender-media relation is played out in production, consumption, and reception. From an analysis of news media's coverage of women politicians, through the marketing of "girl power", to strategizing for equality in newsrooms, Women and Media: International Perspectives provides important insights into how gender is integrated in media industries.

Bringing together original essays by international scholars that explore key concerns between gender and media, Women and Media conveys the dynamism of this issue. Importantly, the theme that runs through the volume - and which serves to unify these otherwise diverse articles - is that media have the potential both to reinforce the status quo in power arrangements in society and to contribute to new, more egalitarian ones. An ideal teaching tool for students, this lively volume includes part-section overviews, bibliographies, key terms, discussion questions, and an introduction by the editors that carefully maps the contours of the international struggle between feminists and the media.
