520 |a This collection of essays explores the representation of women and sexual transactions in film and television. Included are discussions of such films and programs as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Eyes wide shut, L.A. confidential, Pandora's box, Shame, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gigolos. By exploring the themes of class differences and female economic indpendence, the essays go beyond textual analysis and consider politics, censorship, social trends, laws, race, technology, and sexual and gender stereotypes.--From publisher description.
