This volume has much to engage with romance scholars who are interested in critical discussions of how current cultural industries cater to and inform female pleasure; not just in the chapters about erotica and chick lit, but the specific feminine world in which they are perceived to be situated.

Incisive and compelling, Cupcakes, Pinterest, and Ladyporn sheds new light on contemporary women's engagement with an array of media forms in the context of postfeminist culture and neoliberalism. If you've ever wondered how new media forms like Twitter and Facebook have bigger implications for gender relations, this book is for you. The documentary is illuminating and brings forth the making of a sex film using the female 'gaze' instead of the typical male 'gaze'.
