Postfeminist Digital Cultures [PDF ebook] 
Femininity, Social Media, and Self-Representation

This book explores the controversial social media practices engaged in by girls and young women, including sexual self-representations on social network sites, sexting, and self-harm vlogs. Informed by feminist media and cultural studies, Dobson delves beyond alarmist accounts to ask what it is we really fear about these practices.
