Sociology
"This book is extremely well written, which adds to its
excellence as a text that combines an expert synthesis of the
literature and Gill's own insightful analysis. Gill's book is
suitable as a core text for any media studies, cultural studies and
gender studies course as an update of Van Zoonen's 1994 text, since
it contains an analysis of a diverse body of work made suitable for
undergraduate level thanks to Gill's accessible writing
style."
Gender and Education
"Brilliant - a must-read for all media educators."
Newsletter of the Media Education Association
"Gender and the Media is excellent throughout and
confronts the reader with an embarras de richesse of
insights."
Feminism and Psychology
"Gender and the Media is a lively and stimulating read
and works as an excellent introduction for students in the field of
media and gender studies. It is also a grown-up book that moves
beyond the current feminist preoccupation with 'girls', to a
renewed focus on 'women' in their infinite variety. I strongly
recommend it."
European Journal of Women?s Studies
"A new masterpiece in the field of feminist media studies.
Gender and the Media sheds new light on where we have been,
and where we are going. It will be a staple of all media studies
and women's studies classes for at least the next decade."
Andrea Press, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign
"This is a thorough, lucid study which includes a good deal of
new and original material, presenting it with admirable theoretical
fluency yet in a clear and student-friendly way."
Angela McRobbie, Goldsmiths College
"Rosalind Gill's book is an invaluable contribution to the field
of gender and media research. Well written and engaging, it offers
an overview of contemporary representations of gender, a sense of
the main theoretical and methodological approaches at issue and a
grounding in the cultural politics of the field."
Cynthia Carter, Cardiff University
