Comment

I have not been able to locate an index for this work but this review says that "A major portion of Fashioning the Feminine juxtaposes analyses of girls' romance fiction and television soap operas with the reading and viewing practices of this large young female audience" (180). Pecora (1999) mentions "Gilbert and Taylor's work on the Australian teen romance series Dolly, modeled on the Sweet Valley High books" (52) adding that Gilbert and Taylor were "Using a community of readers who were not romance readers" (53). This sounds similar to other work by Gilbert and Taylor which is in the database.
