Chick TV

More about the book

Focusing on the often-overlooked antiheroines of twenty-first-century television, this volume by Yael Levy redefines the landscape of media criticism. It highlights how characters traditionally seen as feminine, such as housewives and nurses, embody forms of feminist resistance. Through analyses of shows like Girls, Desperate Housewives, and Grey's Anatomy, Levy uncovers the narrative depth and radical potential within what has been dismissed as "chick TV." This work challenges conventional views of antiheroism, emphasizing the complexity and significance of female characters in contemporary storytelling.
