The Monstrous-Feminine Returns: A New Wave in Feminist Cinema In this follow-up to her influential work, The Monstrous-Feminine, Barbara Creed explores the changing representation of the monstrous-feminine in visual discourse over the past two decades. She examines a new movement - termed as Feminist New Wave Cinema - which foregrounds everyday horrors and features women directors who create the figure of the Monstrous-Feminine. Creed delves into a range of diverse films, including The Babadook, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Nomadland, Carol, Raw, Revenge, and The Handmaid's Tale, to understand the forms of revolt that appear in this cinema. These revolts relate to emerging social protest movements such as third and fourth wave feminism, queer theory, race theory, and critiques of anthropocentrism and human animal theory. This book is an essential companion to Creed's original work and will be of interest to students studying Gender and Media, Gender and Horror, and Feminist Film Theory.
