Star Wars Meets the Eras of Feminism: Weighing All the Galaxy's Women Great and Small

by Valerie Estelle Frankel

Book Overview

This book traces the changing representation of female characters in the Star Wars franchise through the lens of the four feminist waves, arguing that while the original trilogy reflects the second wave of feminism, the prequels mirror the girl power era that followed, and the sequels are helping define a new fourth wave of inclusion and diversity.
