Reviews

Valerie Estelle Frankel approaches Star Wars as more than a collection of multi-media narratives; she frames the franchise as a not-so-far-away galaxy of intertwined stories, perspectives, cultural touchstones, and identities. Like the force itself, this book connects the seemingly disparate, bringing into conversation the voices of feminist theorists and film critics with fans, actors, and directors. The result is a wide-reaching and useful analysis of Star Wars films, novels, comics, television shows, and even merchandise., Accessible and engaging, this book offers a solid addition to the growing body of scholarship on Star Wars, and the representation of women and diversity in particular. Star Wars Meets the Eras of Feminism: Weighing All the Galaxy's Women Great and Small would be useful to scholars and students in a cross-section of disciplines including science fiction and fantasy studies, feminist and women's studies, film and media studies, and cultural studies., In this bold, ambitious work, Frankel demonstrates the importance of understanding Star Wars texts in light of the four waves of American feminism. Her work will be particularly interesting to the legions of fans who came of age in the 1970s and beyond, who have been influenced particularly by second and third wave feminism. Well-researched and well-grounded in both popular culture and feminist studies, this book is theoretically important and yet accessible to general readers. It is an important text for readers interested in popular culture studies, women's and gender studies, and fandom and media studies.

Synopsis

This book traces the changing representation of female characters in the Star Wars franchise through the lens of the four feminist waves, arguing that while the original trilogy reflects the second wave of feminism, the prequels mirror the girl power era that followed, and the sequels are helping define a new fourth wave of inclusion and diversity., Star Wars defined popular, big-screen science fiction. Still, what many viewers best recall is assertive, hilarious Leia, the diminutive princess with a giant blaster who had to save them all. As the 1977 film arrived, women were marching for equality and demanding equal pay, with few onscreen role models. Leia echoed their struggle and showed them what they could be. Two more films joined in, though by the early eighties, post-feminism was pushing back and shoving the tough heroine into her pornographic gold bikini. After a sixteen-year gap, the prequels catered to a far different audience. Queen Amidala's decoy power originates in how dominated she is by her massive royal gowns. This obsession with fashion but also costuming as a girly superpower fits well with the heroines of the time. The third wavers filled the screens with glamorous, mighty girls - strong but not too strong, like the idealistic teen Ahsoka of Clone Wars. However, space colonialism, abusive romance, and sacrifice left these characters a work in progress. Finally, the sequel era has introduced many more women to fill the galaxy: Rey, Jyn, Rose, Maz, Qi'ra, Val, L3-37, Captain Phasma, Admiral Holdo, and of course General Leia. Making women the central warriors and leaders while keeping them powerful and nonsexualized emphasizes that they can share in the franchise instead of supporting male Jedi. There's also more diversity, though it's still imperfect. Hera and Sabine on the spinoff cartoon Rebels and the many girls in the new franchise Forces of Destiny round out the era, along with toys, picture books, and other hallmarks of a new, more feminist fourth wave for the franchise.

I had been looking for this book for some time and I was excited to see it available. The price, including shipping, was very good - better than most other places I had looked. The shipping speed was reasonable and actually quicker than I expected. When I received the item it was in the advertised and excellent condition, with no issues that I could see. All in all, I have no complaints, am very satisfied with my purchase, and would buy from this seller again.
