Description

About the Author Julie A. Chappell is Professor of English at Tarleton State University, USA. Her writing has focused primarily on women’s lives and texts from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries. She is author or co-editor of many books of scholarship as well as original poetry, including the monograph Perilous Passages: The Book of Margery Kempe, 1534-1934. Mallory Young, Professor of English at Tarleton State University, USA, has published work on a wide variety of subjects, including European women’s films and popular representations of Marie Antoinette. She is co-editor of Chick Lit: The New Woman’s Fiction and Chick Flicks: Contemporary Women at the Movies. Product Description This collection of essays focuses on the representations of a variety of “bad girls”―women who challenge, refuse, or transgress the patriarchal limits intended to circumscribe them―in television, popular fiction, and mainstream film from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Perhaps not surprisingly, the initial introduction of women into Western cultural narrative coincides with the introduction of transgressive women. From the beginning, for good or ill, women have been depicted as insubordinate. Today’s popular manifestations include such widely known figures as Lisbeth Salander (the “girl with the dragon tattoo”), The Walking Dead’s Michonne, and the queen bees of teen television series. While the existence and prominence of transgressive women has continued uninterrupted, however, attitudes towards them have varied considerably. It is those attitudes that are explored in this collection. At the same time, these essays place feminist/postfeminist analysis in a larger context, entering into ongoing debates about power, equality, sexuality, and gender.
