Abstract

Nathalie Weidhase’s Pop and Postfeminism: Female Dandyism in Popular Music (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024) examines the intersection of pop stardom, gender performance, and postfeminist discourse through the lens of female dandyism. Analyzing contemporary musicians who subvert traditional femininity with androgynous aesthetics and rebellious personas, Weidhase explores how these artists negotiate power, identity, and consumer culture.
