A sweeping study of Hollywood from Now, Voyager, The Heiress, and Flamingo Road to Carrie, the Alien films, The Brave One, and the slasher horror genre, this book boldly unsettles commonplace understandings of genre film, female sexuality, and Freudian theory as it makes a strong new case for the queer relevance of female representation.
"In this sharp, reasonably priced book, Greven (English, Univ. of Southern Carolina) examines--as the title clearly indicates--the ways in which women are represented in American genre films. ... This would be an excellent resource for a course in these genres. Carefully considered and accessibly written, this is a challenging and daring work. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (G. A. Foster, Choice, Vol. 51 (9), May, 2014)
