Geek Chic: Smart Women in Popular Culture
I enjoyed the chapter about girls in the media with glasses, the chapter about lawyers, the chapter about women in politics in the media, and the chapter about Hillary Clinton. However the essays about female professors and slackers were terrible. I could barely suffer through them without dying of boredom.
Overall, this was a very informative book and opened my eyes to the portrayal of women in the media compared to portrayal of men in the same roles.
