Helen Davies is Principal Lecturer in English Studies at Teesside University. She is on the editorial board for the Journal of Gender Studies.

Claire OCallaghan is a lecturer in English at Brunel University. She is on the Executive Committee of the Contemporary Womens Writing Association (CWWA) and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Gender Studies.

Gender and Austerity in Popular Culture is an important development in our understanding of the ways in which the austerity politics of both the UK and the USA are deeply gendered. But what is also recognised here are the historical parallels in which policies demanding restraint in both personal and state spending had different forms for men and women. Thus in this highly original collection of essays the various authors consider distinct locations of the traditions through which women and men are asked to live out, and through, economic inequality. In all, a highly readable and valuable collection.

Library of Gender and Popular Culture

From Mad Men to gaming culture, performance art to steam-punk fashion, the presentation and representation of gender continues to saturate popular media. This new series seeks to explore the intersection of gender and popular culture, engaging with a variety of texts drawn primarily from Art, Fashion, TV, Cinema, Cultural Studies and Media Studies as a way of considering various models for understanding the complementary relationship between gender identities and popular culture. By considering race, ethnicity, class, and sexual identities across a range of cultural forms, each book in the series will adopt a critical stance towards issues surrounding the development of gender identities and popular and mass cultural products.
