Description
Beyond Bombshells: The New Action Heroine in Popular Culture
By Jeffrey A. Brown, University Press of Mississippi, 2015 (paperback)
This book explores the cultural significance of strong women in modern media, including movies, comic books, television, and literature.
The author examines how action heroines reflect shifting ideas about female agency, power, and sexuality, as well as strategies used to contain or exploit female violence. Recent heroines such as Katniss Everdeen, Lisbeth Salander, and Hit-Girl are analyzed in the context of evolving beliefs about femininity.
