Over the past few decades there has been discussion about the extent to which popular fiction reflects such things as social changes in our society and current debates. In this article I will discuss the extent to which popular fiction reflects debates about gender and sexuality. Additionally, I will examine the difference between postfeminism and third wave feminism, then take a closer look at Candace Bushnell's book Sex and the City (1996) and relate the book's ideas about women and women's sexuality to postfeminism and third wave feminism. ideas. I will also consider cyber-feminism in relation to another chick-lit book: Helen Fielding's book Bridget Jones's Diary (1996). In my opinion, popular fiction reflects almost everything that happens in contemporary society or in the minds of people living in this society. These could be debates about life on Mars, specific crimes, or the role of women in society and their responsibilities. Since this is not high-quality literature, it can be written while the topic is still relevant and this makes this literary genre so significant. In my opinion, popular fiction also largely reflects debates about gender and sexuality. However, it can be seen more clearly in some specific genres of popular fiction than in others. McCracken (1998: p.6) argues: “Popular fiction, we might say, mediates social conflict. In other words, it acts as a medium between the reader and the world through which the social contradictions of modernity can be enacted.” The Chick lit genre emerged in the mid-1990s when Helen Fielding's book Bridget Jones's Diary (1996) and Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City (1996) proved to be major successes. In the mid-1990s, large numbers of women around the world were paying attention... to the center of the paper... to the Get Jones diary. New York: Picador.3. Flanagan, M. and Booth, A.
