BOOK RESEARCH. "Status Anxiety" -Alain de Botton.

This book felt like a good read becuase of it's very title. By reading the blurb it became very clear that this book dealt with the issues of addressing one's social stance and I immediantly saw it's potential in helping me to gain insight into the why's and how's the WAG's keep up to date with other WAG's. The book addresses the need for competition but also looks at the factors which causes such feelings of being threatened.

"Sugar and Spice and No Longer Nice" -Deborah Prothron and Howarth Spivak.

This book was all to do with the relationships between females. I found this book very interesting to read becuase it provided case studies of teenagers that could be made to use for the WAG's to reason their behaviour towards one another. I found several research that I could link in with the "Wag's boutique."

"The Sex Which Is Not One." -Luce Irigaray.

This book displays the relationship between males and females, refering to our patriarchal society at many times. This will be useful when looking at social factors, and ideologies.

"Patterns of Social Inequality" -Huw Beynon and Pandeli Glavanis.

I wanted to look at a book which would contain content that would be useful in looking at the makeup of our society. 'Patterns of Social Inequality' highlights, with reference to my study, the role of women containing a few stereotypes.

"More Than Meets The Eye" -Graeme Burton.

This is more like a study guide. I found this book particularly useful when looking at 'representations.'
