    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?
    According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

    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.

    Feminism:

    Postfeminism:

    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.
