Abstract

Arguing that the most visible feminists in the mediasphere have been authors of bestselling works of non-fiction—feminist ‘blockbusters’—Taylor contends that there are key differences between the fame embodied by blockbuster celebrity feminists and other types of stars. Engaging with previous feminist scholarship on the relationship between feminism and celebrity culture, much of which sees the celebrity feminist as an anxiety-provoking figure, Taylor suggests there is a need for a much more nuanced critical approach. In particular, as part of this process of refiguring the celebrity–feminism nexus, she emphasizes that the agency of blockbuster authors in their own celebrification needs to be foregrounded.
