Twilight: A special deep dive episode Feminist Fiction

    • Books

In our first ever deep dive episode, we get into the epic saga that is the Twilight series. Love it or hate it, the impact of the Twilight books and films were huge; selling over 100 million copies and making over 400 million dollars at the box office.
We get into why the story of ordinary gal Bella caught in a love triangle with a vampire and a werewolf gripped a generation of teenagers (we were two of them), discussing if we’re Team Edward or Team Jacob, exploring the story’s increasingly bizarre plot line, debating whether or not it’s feminist and looking at the series’ deeply concerning racist undertones.
There will be spoilers, but we doubt you’re here if you weren’t - at some point - a Twihard. Enjoy 🧛🏻‍♀️🩸🐺
Plus as always, we answer a listener question and give our latest recommendations. If you liked the podcast don't forget to share, rate and review - it helps the podcast reach more people! Thanks for listening ♥️ If you want to find out more about Feminist Fiction or join one of our online or in-person clubs in Manchester, London, Liverpool, Belfast and Halle (yes, in Germany!) - visit us on Instagram at @feminist.fiction.
