Postfeminist Celebrity and Motherhood - Lagerwey, Jorie (University College Dublin, Ireland)

This book analyzes the intersections of celebrity, self-branding, and "mommy" culture, examining how images of celebrity moms playing versions of themselves on reality television, social media, gossip sites, and self-branded retail outlets negotiate the complex demands of postfeminism and the current fashion for heroic, labor intensive parenting.
