Informationen zum Autor MARY DOUGLAS VAVRUS is an associate professor in the communication studies department at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. She is the author of Postfeminist News: Political Women in Media Culture . Klappentext By examining news and documentary media produced since September 11, 2001, Vavrus demonstrates that news narratives that include women use feminism selectively in gender equality narratives. She ultimately asserts that such reporting advances post-feminism, which, in tandem with banal militarism, subtly pushes military solutions for an array of problems women and girls face.
