A revised edition of Robert Caplen's book Shaken & Stirred: The Feminism of James Bond (about the cultural impact of the cinematic Bond girl) is published. (The first edition was published in November 2010.)

Robert A. Caplen has released a new paperback version of his groundbreaking work about the evolution of the Bond Girls.

In Shaken & Stirred: The Feminism of James Bond (the revised 2012 edition), Caplen focuses upon the cultural significance of the Bond Girl, one of the most celebrated and beloved cultural icons of the twentieth century, and explains how the James Bond films responded to or reacted against feminism and Women's Liberation.

Complete with a discussion of the literary Bond Girl and Ian Fleming's inspiration, the book has over 50 images to supplement the text.

Quoted by Sir Roger Moore in his own memoir, Shaken & Stirred: The Feminism of James Bond is a must-have cultural history for 007 fans, cinema enthusiasts, and lovers of nonfiction.
