Conclusion. 330 $aIn this timely analysis of the economics of access that surround contemporary female celebrity, Hannah Yelin reveals a culture that requires women to be constantly 'baring all' in physical exposure and psychic confessions. As famous women tell their story, in their 'own words', constellations of ghostwriters, intermediaries and market forces undermine assertions of authorship and access to the 'real' woman behind the public image. Yelin's account of the presence of the ghostwriter offers a fascinating microcosm of the wider celebrity machine, with insights pertinent to all celebrity mediation. Yelin surveys life-writing genres including fiction, photo-diary, comic-strip, and art anthology, as well as more 'traditional' autobiographical forms; covering a wide range of media platforms and celebrity contexts including reality TV, YouTube, pop stardom, and porn/glamour modelling. Despite this diversity, Yelin reveals seemingly inescapable conventions, as well as spaces for resistance.Celebrity Memoir: from Ghostwriting to Gender Politics offers new insights on the curtailment of women's voices, with ramifications for literary studies of memoir, feminist media studies, celebrity studies, and work on the politics of production in the creative industries. 606 $aCelebrities 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aCelebrity Studies 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aCultural Studies 615 0$aCelebrities. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aCelebrity Studies. 615 24$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a808.06692 676 $a809.93592 700 $aYelin$b Hannah$0859914 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483485103321 996 $aCelebrity memoir$91918828 997 $aUNINA
