An insightful look at the cultural impact of the television phenomenon Sex and the City.
Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, one word was on everyone’s lips: sex. Sex and the City had taken the United States, and the world, by storm. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha influenced how a generation of women think, practice, and talk about sex, allowing them to embrace their sexual desires publicly and unlocking the idea of women as sexual beings on par with men.
In Sex and the City: A Cultural History, Nicole Evelina provides a fascinating, in-depth look at the show’s characters, their relationships, and the issues the show confronted. From sexuality and feminism to friendship and motherhood, Evelina reveals how the series impacted viewers in the 1990s, as well as what still resonates today and what has glaringly not kept up with the times. The world has changed dramatically since the show originally aired, and Evelina examines how recent social movements have served to highlight the show’s lack of diversity and throw some of its storylines into a less than favorable light.
While Sex and the City had problematic issues, it also changed the world’s perception of single women, emphasized the power of female friendship, built brands, and influenced fashion. This book looks at it all, from the pilot episode to the spin-off movies, prequel, and reboot that together have built an enduring legacy for a new generation of women.
Rating and Review
4 out of 5
This was an interesting and in-depth analysis of what is arguably one of the most popular shows in TV history. Even today, you can hear it referenced. I was intrigued when I read the blurb, and it’s made me want to go back and watch the show, which I never really got into when it was airing. (But I may have been in the wrong age range for the target audience back then). I greatly appreciate that Evelina looks at both the positives and negatives of the show, not shying away from critiquing as much as praising. If you’re interested in the show, or how iconic shows affect pop culture, you’ll likely enjoy this book.
