Chick Lit
"Chick lit" is a term used to describe a type of popular fiction targeted at women. Widely used in the 1990s and 2000s, the term has fallen out of fashion with publishers, with numerous writers and critics rejecting it as inherently sexist. Novels identified as chick lit typically address romantic relationships, female friendships, and workplace struggles in humorous and lighthearted ways. Typical protagonists are urban, heterosexual women in their late twenties and early thirties: the 1990s chick lit heroine represented an evolution of the traditional romantic heroine in her assertiveness, financial independence and enthusiasm for conspicuous consumption. The format developed through the early 1990s on both sides of the Atlantic with books such as Terry McMillan's '' Waiting to Exhale'' (1992, US) and Catherine Alliott's ''The Old Girl Network'' (1994, UK). Helen Fielding's '' Bridget Jones's Diary'' (1996, UK), wildly popular globally, is the "Ur-text" of chick lit, while Ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
