ABSTRACT

When I first begin to think seriously about the relationship between feminism, law and popular culture in order to write this chapter, I found myself asking a number of related questions, addressing a diversity of theoretical perspectives and turning to a whole range of disparate kinds of cultural representations-all in order to try to think through again, this time from somewhere else, questions I have explored at length in relation to popular culture in other contexts.3 I want first to unpack the coordination in ‘popular culture, feminism and law’ and to question first the relation: ‘law and popular culture’. Then I will turn to the question of feminism’s relationship to the other two terms: law and popular culture.
