Bibliography: Pop Culture, Misogyny, Film Studies, & More

I finally finished organizing and formatting my bibliography for my thesis proposal (which I’m presenting on Monday), and then remembered I also need to annotate it. I mean, I didn’t just rememember, I knew. I’ve known. But instead of doing my little summaries along the way like I began doing at the beginning of the semester, I decided to wait. So now here I am, in the witching hour, trying to remember exactly what I liked and used and why and for what, for about 30+ sources. I don’t know why, but this GIF feels appropriate.
