I’m not funny at all. What I am is brave.” Lucille Ball
From female pop culture powerhouses dominating the entertainment landscape to memoirs from today’s most vocal feminist comediennes shooting up the bestseller lists, women in comedy have never been more influential.
Marking this cultural shift,
provides an in-depth exploration of how comedy and feminism have grown hand in hand to give women a stronger voice in the ongoing fight for equality. From
to
to today’s rising cable and web-series stars, Anna Fields’ entertaining retrospective combines amusing and honest personal narratives with the historical, political, and cultural contexts of the feminist movement.
With interview subjects like Abbi Jacobson, Molly Shannon, Mo Collins, and Lizz Winstead among othersas well as actresses, stand-up comics, writers, producers, and female comedy troupesFields shares true stories of wit and heroism from some of our most treasured (and under-represented) artists. At its heart,
captures the urgency of our continued struggle towards equality, allowing the reader to both revel inand rebel againstour collective ideas of women’s comedy.”
