Postfeminist Digital Cultures: Femininity, Social Media, and Self-Representation

by Amy Shields Dobson

This book explores the controversial social media practices engaged in by girls and young women, including sexual self-representations on social network sites, sexting, and self-harm vlogs. Informed by feminist media and cultural studies, Dobson delves beyond alarmist accounts to ask what it is we really fear about these practices.

An eye-opener, I guess. A lot of things is of course being assumed, like if you're a reader of the book, then obviously you would be abreast with Third and Fourth Waves well. But in all, a recommendation for all who want to know this side of feminism (post-Second Wave) a bit closely.
