Summary:
"How female celebrities are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an "acceptable" woman. You know the type: the woman who won't shut up, who's too brazen, too opinionated - too much. She's the unruly woman, and she embodies one of the most provocative and powerful forms of womanhood today. In Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, Anne Helen Petersen uses the lens of "unruliness" to explore the ascension of pop culture powerhouses like Lena Dunham, Nicki Minaj, and Kim Kardashian, exploring why the public loves to love (and hate) these controversial figures. Anne Heleen Petersen received a PhD in media studies from the University of Texas. Today, she writes about culture, celebrity, and feminism for BuzzFeed News. Her first book was Scandals of Classic Hollywood."--Provided by publisher.
