Women's comedy has long been a prime spot for women to talk back and break taboos in mainstream popular culture. This talk is an overview of women’s comedy beginning with Mae West and ending with the new generation of women comedians such as Tina Fey, Wanda Sykes, and Ellen DeGeneres who flout the pretty-versus-funny dynamic, targeting glamour and in some cases making it clear that in popular culture, “pretty” almost always means “white.”
Presented by Linda Mizejewski, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor in OSU's Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Department.
