She has received numerous accolades including an Academy Award and two Golden Globes,
and in 2004 became the first ever American woman to be nominated for a Best Director
Oscar. From The Virgin Suicides to The Bling Ring, her work carves out new spaces
for the expression of female subjectivity that embraces rather than rejects femininity.
Fiona Handyside here considers the careful counter-balance of vulnerability with the
possibilities and pleasures of being female in Coppola's films - albeit for the white
and the privileged - through their recurrent themes of girlhood, fame, power, sex
and celebrity. Chapters reveal a post-feminist aesthetic that offers sustained, intimate
engagements with female characters. These characters inhabit luminous worlds of girlish
adornments, light and sparkle and yet find homes in unexpected places from hotels
to swimming pools, palaces to strip clubs: resisting stereotypes and the ordinary.
In this original study, Handyside brings critical attention to a rare female auteur
and in so doing contributes to important analyses of post-feminism, authorship in
film, and the growing field of girlhood studies
