Women and the Media cover

Women and the Media: Diverse Perspectives is an innovative collection of 19 descriptive and empirical articles examining media depictions and highlighting significant contributions. This anthology has a cultural focus and addresses issues of race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. With this book, the editors initiate a global dialogue about women and the media, broaden an insular American perspective, and contribute to a growing body of scholarship.

This comprehensive collection addresses important issues in gender and media studies, and offers a diversity of perspectives on an international scale. -- Joan Conners, Randolph-Macon College * Communication Research Trends *
All in all, the book offers a much-needed global perspective on current depictions of women in mass media and will be valuable not only for students of journalism and media studies, but also for those pursuing feminist studies and globalization/business. Summing Up: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Lower-/upper-division undergraduates; professionals. -- M.R. Grant, emerita, Wheaton College * CHOICE *
