The Girl in the Show: Three Generations of Comedy, Culture, and Feminism by Anna Fields
3.0
While I enjoyed reading this book about women's success in comedy, the writing was hard to follow at times and it could have been about 100 pages shorter. Maybe I just got confused because Fields references specific scenes from comedy shows and sketches that I have not seen, but I felt that she also jumped between subjects a lot. However, it was still a fascinating read and I would recommend it to anyone interested in feminism and film/media studies.
