"Briget Jones's Mandate"- A Critique of Chick Lit...

Hi everyone! I know we should be talking about Cranford (and I'm working on something to comment upon), but I stumbled upon this article and I think it's quite interesting. I partially agree with Lisa Carver's scepticism towards Chick Lit--especially the message that it is sending young professional women--that they are simply not whole until they find a man...a good man. While Carver's critique can be digressive, her suggestions to make Chick Lit less sterotypical and more subversive make me rethink the genre. Enjoy!
