In the context of the 2000s, when the potential meanings of both terms have expanded and changed so significantly, in what ways might the concept of programming, addressed explicitly to a group identified by gender still matter? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this collection take the existing scholarship in this field in significant new directions. They expand its reach in terms of territory (looking beyond, for example, the paradigmatic Anglo-American axis) and also historical span. Additionally, whilst the influential methodological formation of production, text and audience is still visible here, the new research in \u003ci\u003eTelevision for Women \u003c\/i\u003efrequently reconfigures that relationship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe topics included here are far-reaching; from television as material culture at the British exhibition in the first half of the twentieth century, women’s roles in television production past and present, to popular 1960s television such as \u003cem\u003eThe Liver Birds\u003c\/em\u003e and, in the twenty-first century, highly successful programmes including \u003cem\u003eOrange is the New Black\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCall the Midwife\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOne Born Every Minute\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWanted Down Under\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents ground-breaking research on historical and contemporary relationships between women and television around the world and is an ideal resource for students of television, media and gender studies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255627600216,"sku":"9781138914285","price":210.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138914285.jpg?v=1779170456","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/television-for-women-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
