The book explores a diverse range of popular media texts, from the \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e saga to \u003ci\u003eAlly McBeal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSex and the City, \u003c\/i\u003e from \u003ci\u003eThe Net\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVR5\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eSportsnight\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eG.I. Jane.\u003c\/i\u003e The research is framed as a study of intergenerational tensions in portrayals of women and public institutions - in careers, governmental service, and interactions with technology. Using iconic texts and their contexts as a primary focus, this book offers a rhetorical and cultural history of the tensions between remembering and forgetting in representations of the American feminist movement between 1979 and 2005. Looking forward, the book sets an agenda for discussion of gender issues over the next twenty-five years and articulates with authority the manner in which  transgression  itself has become a site of struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Authors: A.
