Postfeminist Digital Cultures: Femininity, Social Media, and Self-Representation

By Amy Shields Dobson

Book Overview

This book explores the controversial social media practices engaged in by girls and young women, including sexual self-representations on social network sites, sexting, and self-harm vlogs.
