What is post-feminist literature? Is this where women work out that what they really wanted all along was to marry a good earner and have babies?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postfeminism :
Over the years, the meaning of postfeminism has become broader in scope, encompassing many different meanings, as is the case with feminism. Within feminist literature, definitions tend to fall into two main categories: 1) “death of feminism”, “anti-feminism”, “feminism is irrelevant now” and 2) the next stage in feminism, or feminism that intersects with other “post-” philosophies/theories, such as postmodernism, post-structuralism and postcolonialism.


An example from Chick Lit: The New Woman's Fiction
edited by Suzanne Ferriss, Mallory Young that I found amusing that might fit: https://books.google.com/books?id=CacsBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=post-feminist+literature+that+is+not+chick-lit&source=bl&ots=TbPfSazrPV&sig=-Otr3n_VtJ5-UQnt4fVEtNeeqyw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiuyb3xkMTYAhXojVQKHQvCCyIQ6AEIqQEwFQ#v= onepage&q=post-feminist&f=false


(pardon the formatting)



Prefeminism:

kitchen ////////////////// shirtwaists ////// white rice ////// Donna Reed /////////// Rhett Butler /////////////////////////// romantic

Feminism:

protest march ////////// power suits ///// brown rice ///// Gloria Steinem //////// Alan Alda /////////////////////////////// heroic

Postfeminism:

psychiatrist's office /// lots of leather /// sushi ///////////// Madonna ///////////// anonymous sweaty cowboys /////// ironic

So, according to your link, an answer to the OP was Bridget Jones' Diary.

McRobbie believed that postfeminism was most clearly seen on so-called feminist media products, such as Bridget Jones's Diary, Sex and the City, and Ally McBeal. Female characters like Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw claimed to be liberated and clearly enjoy their sexuality, but what they were constantly searching for was the one man who would make everything worthwhile

Aloof and "hard to get" characters like Mr Darcy and Mr Big are winning women over.
