Rezensionen

"Mahoney's Women in Neoliberal Postfeminist Television Drama continues a fascinating vein of current feminist television scholarship ... . Mahoney clearly maintains that the primary goal of her research is the demonstration of a postfeminist sensibility ... . The tightness of the book's focus is one of its most enduring strengths. ... Mahoney's work stands as a good model for those who wish to consider the intersections of history, ideology and feminist politics through the richness of the televisual text." (Daniel Martin, Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 16 (2), 2021)
