The best minds of American and English universities reflect on female orgasms, Prada handbags and discuss the sexual exploits of Carrie Bradshaw. The book consists of five chapters, each of which examines the relationship of the series with various aspects of modern culture. Topics considered include patriarchal myths and the search for Mr. Ideal, the female orgasm as a way to achieve power in the era of third wave feminism, fashion as the fifth main character of the series, “Sex in the big city" as the dream of a fashion editor, the influence of Woody Allen on "Sex and the City", the phenomenon of the series as a closed women's club, "Sex and the City" as a new stage in the evolution of the romantic comedy genre. Researchers skillfully balance between depth and surface: quasi-scientific analysis with quotes from post-structuralists and Freud alternates with frivolous to the point of indecent statements by the heroines of Sex and the City themselves.
