At the Crossroads of Gender and Culture: Where Feminism and Sexism Intersect.

Durham, Carolyn A.

Modern Language Journal, v79 n2 p153-65 Sum 1995

This article examines the controversy over the alleged sexism of "French in Action" (1987, 1994) within the context of key differences between French and American feminist thought. Read within a French cultural context, this text can be more accurately perceived as a postmodernist, feminist critique of Hollywood's heterosexual romance narrative. (35 references) (MDM)
