Abstract

This chapter summarises the core themes and arguments identified which are extended further in a discussion of the most recent popular texts featuring surrogacy storylines in American and Australian dramas The Handmaid’s Tale and Top of the Lake: China Girl. Further to this, the importance of how TV representations and reproductive politics connect in the construction and perpetuation of family ideology is also highlighted, and how this work must be acknowledged as an important moment in popular culture. This then emphasises the need for continual analysis of family ideology in the ever-changing media world, future works which the author underlines can only benefit from the foundations that have been laid throughout this book.
