Abstract

The author analyzes various elements of the promotional campaigns for two recent female-driven action narratives, the film Charlie's Angels and the television series Alias. The analysis suggests that these inconsistent and often regressive campaigns weaken the potentially progressive gender images offered by the film and series.
