The third lecture in our local author series will be held on Tues., Feb. 8 @ 7:00pm. Stephanie Harzewski will be here to discuss her new book Chicklit and Postfeminism. Where did the term "chick lit" come from? Is chick lit literature? Why is the popularity of Jane Austen, dubbed "the mother of chick lit," at an all-time high? What does chick lit and corollary phenomenon like Sex and the City tell us about contemporary love, sex, and dating? What is "postfeminism" and how does chick lit help us define it? What is the place of chick lit, with its kinship to designer and upscale commodities, in the recession? What is the future of this popular subgenre and its numerous movie adaptations?
