Abstract
This chapter argues that characters like Carmela Soprano are a product of our complex post-feminist age of troubled emancipation. Indeed, Carmela is produced by a premium cable subscription company trading in a dynamic global TV marketplace and inculcates how the free market ideologies of Neo-liberalism have been assimilated and made useful particular traits of liberal feminism.
