- More about Celebrity Memoir: From Ghostwriting to Gender Politics
In her book "Celebrity Memoir: From Ghostwriting to Gender Politics," Hannah Yelin explores the economics of access surrounding contemporary female celebrity, revealing a culture that requires women to be constantly 'baring all in physical exposure and psychic confessions.' Yelin surveys life-writing genres, including fiction, photo-diary, comic-strip, and art anthology, and reveals seemingly inescapable conventions and spaces for resistance.

In this comprehensive examination of the economics of access that permeate contemporary female celebrity culture, Hannah Yelin unveils a society that perpetually demands women to expose both their physical selves and their innermost thoughts. As renowned figures share their narratives, a constellation of ghostwriters, intermediaries, and market forces undermine the assertions of authorship and the ability to gain access to the authentic woman behind the public persona. Yelin's account of the presence of ghostwriters provides a captivating microcosm of the broader celebrity machine, offering valuable insights into all forms of celebrity mediation.
Through her survey of various life-writing genres, including fiction, photo-diary, comic-strip, and art anthology, as well as more traditional autobiographical forms, Yelin explores a wide range of media platforms and celebrity contexts, including reality TV, YouTube, pop stardom, and porn/glamour modeling. Despite this diverse spectrum, Yelin uncovers seemingly unavoidable conventions, as well as spaces for resistance.
Celebrity Memoir: from Ghostwriting to Gender Politics delves into fresh perspectives on the suppression of women's voices, with far-reaching implications for literary studies of memoir, feminist media studies, celebrity studies, and the examination of production politics in the creative industries.
