Television Culture and Women's Lives: "Thirtysomething" and the Contradictions of Gender (Feminist Cultural Studies, the Media, and Political Culture) - Softcover
Contemporary cultural theory, feminist criticism, and ethnography converge in this provocative study of the construction of meaning in mass culture. Television Culture and Women's Lives explores the complex relationship between the gender conflicts played out in the scripts of the popular television show thirtysomething and the real-life conflicts experienced by "baby-boomer" women viewers.
Women viewers often reinterpreted the program's conservative view on gender roles, seeing it instead as a protest against real dilemmas women face as they try to integrate career and family priorities. Heide's study confirms women viewers' close identifications with thirtysomething characters and positions audience responses against the backdrop of changes in the lives of women in the 1980s and 1990s. Television Culture and Women's Lives accessibly treats fascinating issues related to cultural criticism, the relationship between mass media, and audiences, and the struggles faced by women in late twentieth-century America.

About the Author:
Margaret J. Heide teaches sociology at SUNY/Empire State College.
Review:
Cultural theory and feminist criticism blend to examine the relationship between TV portraits of women's lives and real-life conflicts. This challenges theories that viewers absorb mass media portraits, analyzing changes which occur between audience and media as a result of TV presentations. -- Midwest Book Review
