Hi

For television I use Merri Lisa Johnson's 'Wave Feminism and Television: 
Jane Puts It In a BoxThird ' with my students. The intro alone is worth a 
reading.

There are also a couple of books on Sex and the City, Akass and McCabe, 
'Reading Sex and the City' and the more recent by Deborah Jermyn in the TV 
Milestones series. There's also the body of work that has create Ally 
McBeal Studies and Buffy studies that looks at these programmes in terms of 
gender.

cheers
corinna
