Obviously, I can’t wait for Shira’s book. I’ve been using the Dicker text in my women’s history class the past two terms (fall and winter), and so far, it’s a hit — very accessible but packed with a lot of “need-to-know” and “Hey-I-had-no-idea” stuff.

While many know Bitch as a “feminist response to pop culture,” some do not always recognize the value in making celebrity gossip, B movies, and shoddy mainstream reporting the locus of activism and (re)action. If you haven’t spent years sifting through Bitch magazine archives, or haven’t read BitchFest, Feminism and Pop Culture will shine new light on these relationships. If you’re already immersed in the language and analysis of the B-word, here you’ll find one more piece of Zeisler’s Bitch-y empire in which she continues to find comprehensive ways to state her purpose.
