'Mediating the Family is incisively written... The book is valuable for bringing together a range of different sources about post-war life and media, and for conveying a sense of the profound shifts in gender relations in the last few decades.' Rosalind Gill, King's College, London, in the International Journal of Cultural Studies 'Estella Tincknell's book offers a comprehensive analysis of ...representations of the family and its complexities. Her knowledge of popular culture is extensive and her choice of examples enriches her theoretical discussion.' Gordana Rabrenovic, Northeastern University, Boston, USA, in the European Journal of Communication
