Chapter 12

Reading Smart Girls: Post-Nerds in Post-Feminist Popular Culture

Shauna Pomerantz and Rebecca Raby

Shauna Pomerantz and Rebecca Raby examine how the “post-nerd smart girl”--attractive, intelligent and sexually desirable--is portrayed in The Gilmore Girls, High School Musical and Veronica Mars. Analysing the figures of Rory, Gabriella and Veronica, Pomerantz and Raby consider the extent to which these “smart supergirl” figures are inflected by post-feminist and neo-liberal discourses.
