[Excerpts from Duke University Press’ website<\/a>]:<\/p>\n

Since the debut of\u00a0These Are My Children<\/i>\u00a0in 1949, the daytime television soap opera has been foundational to the history of the medium as an economic, creative, technological, social, and cultural institution. In\u00a0Her Stories<\/i>, Elana Levine draws on archival research and her experience as a longtime soap fan to provide an in-depth history of the daytime television soap opera as a uniquely gendered cultural form and a central force in the economic and social influence of network television. Closely observing the production, promotion, reception, and narrative strategies of the soaps, Levine examines two intersecting developments: the role soap operas have played in shaping cultural understandings of gender and the rise and fall of broadcast network television as a culture industry. In so doing, she foregrounds how soap operas have revealed changing conceptions of gender and femininity as imagined by and reflected on the television screen.<\/p>\n

Elana Levine<\/strong> is Professor of Media, Cinema and Digital Studies in the Department of English at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Milwaukee. She is the author of\u00a0Wallowing in Sex: The New Sexual Culture of 1970s American Television<\/i>, also published by Duke University Press; editor of\u00a0Cupcakes, Pinterest, and Ladyporn: Feminized Popular Culture in the Early Twenty-First Century<\/i>; and coauthor of\u00a0Legitimating Television: Media Convergence and Cultural Status<\/i>.<\/p>\n
