• Brings together a collection of new, cutting-edge research exploring a number of different facets of the broad relationship between gender and media
• Moves beyond associating gender with man/woman and instead considers the relationship between the construction of gender norms, biological sex and the mediation of sex and sexuality
• Offers genuinely new insights into the complicated and complex set of relations which exist between gender, sex, sexualities and the media
• Essay topics range from the continuing sexism of TV advertising to ways in which the internet is facilitating the (re)invention of our sexual selves.
