- Title
Post-industrial Offspring: Iconographies of Postmodern Motherhood and Child-Rearing in Chick Lit A Perusal of Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic & Baby.
- Authors
Alb, Anemona
- Abstract
It is the main assumption of this paper that traditional iconographies of womanhood have been supplanted by novel, post-Fordist ones; more specifically, the image of motherhood of yore has now been usurped by the brand-obsessed pregnant woman, indeed a fashionista rather interested in succumbing to peer-pressure as regards fashion during pregnancy than in the real significance of child-bearing.
