Title: Brilliant feminist analysis . . .
Product review: This book is a very well-written analysis of Star Trek from a feminist perspective. Roberts analyzes the texts (episodes) with a great deal of insight as well as a sense of humor. That said, if you are looking for a soft read, this is not it. Sexual Generations is a scholarly book and well worth the effort to read it. Roberts does not try to simply illuminate the "fabulousness" of the series, but rather seeks to unpack and understand the many social and cultural implications of the series. She also seems to argue that popular culture is worth analyzing and taking seriously as an art form--I agree! I recommend this book highly if you are interested in a very smart approach to Star Trek.
