A fresh take on the classic 1977 film, Progressive in Polyester is a collection of essays exploring the women characters of Saturday Night Fever and how these characters embody the anxieties, fears, dreams and aspirations of feminism’s second wave.

“In Progressive in Polyester, Heather Babcock takes the seemingly under the radar performances of the women in Saturday Night Fever and puts them onto the dance floor, under the pop culture lens that reflects back to us how we observe feminism at large. She wonderfully captures how the subtle but poetic representations of the characters in the movie, much like the music, reverberate into our own social culture to this day." - Valentino Assenza, Host & Producer HOWL on CIUT 89.5FM

Progressive in Polyester is available as an ebook on Kobo!
