About this product

Product Information

Have the Canadian media given feminism a bad name or have theybeen among the movement's strongest supporters?Is journalistic objectivity a myth when it comes to women'svoices, or doesn't it matter?In this provocative new book -- the first one to examine printand broadcast news coverage of women's issues in English Canada -- Barbara Freeman explores what the media were saying about womenand their concerns during an important period in our history --and why.The Satellite Sex is both a social history and a media case studyof the years 1966-1971, when the feminist movement began once moreto gather support. Women wanted equal treatment under the law, andthey wanted rights they had not gained when they won the vote manyyears earlier. In response, the Canadian government appointed afederal inquiry on the status of women, and hundreds of women cameforward to talk to the Commission about the injustices theyexperienced at school, at work, in public life, in their homes,and even in their bedrooms.The Satellite Sex demonstrates that the print and broadcast mediacoverage of women's issues at that time were much more complex andfragmented than revealed by research in the United States on thesame era. This book, released thirty years after the CanadianCommission presented its report, also raises questions about thelack of strong feminist voices in today's news media.

Reviews
''Social historians will be grateful to this study for uncovering the often-overlooked details of a social movement.... She does not report patently ludicrous opinions of men and women of the later 1960s as patently ludicrous, but rather sees them in the cotext of the prevailing opinion of the day. This is a formidable task, given some of the statements that are made.... For media scholars, this is an important contribution to the field and it will stand ably alongsidde the work of Gaye Tuchman and Teun van Dijk. For Canadian media scholars it provides a necessary salve to the totalizing theories of American media coverage.... Freeman writes with such lucidity and depth of feeling that we can clearly imagine how it must have felt to read, when the final report was published, that it was a 'feminine document: intriguing, expensive, a little late, [and] wisely illogical''.
