Mother Courage and Her Soaps: "Incendies, Weeds, Nurse Jackie," and Daytime Drama
Beck, Bernard
Multicultural Perspectives, v14 n1 p28-31 2012
The decline of the soap opera as a major form of popular culture highlights the importance of that form in creating and maintaining a shared subculture for women. Soap operas are contrasted with recent television and film works that present the struggles of women in a different way, highlighting the distinctive features of soap operas as women's subcultural forms.
