Athena's Daughters : Television’s New Women Warriors, Hardback Book

Athena's Daughters : Television’s New Women Warriors Hardback

Edited by Frances Early, Kathleen Kennedy

Part of the Television and Popular Culture series

Hardback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

This book is unique in its critical inquiry into the new woman warrior's appropriation of violence and the Western war narrative.

Informed by feminist theoretical debates regarding women's new roles, the authors delve into the meaning of that appropriation for alternative storytelling.

To date, television's ""ferocious few"" have received little scholarly attention.

By inviting a variety of perspectives, editors Frances Early and Kathleen Kennedy provide a cutting-edge forum to recognize women's increasing role in popular culture as they are cast as action heroes.

As a timely and accessible work, this book will appeal to scholars, feminists, cultural critics, and the general reader.
