Description
She-wolf: A Cultural History of Female Werewolves This collection explores the cultural history of the female werewolf, from medieval literature to recent incarnations in film and popular literature. It offers a cross-period, interdisciplinary exploration of a perennially popular cultural production. The essays in this book examine the challenges posed by female werewolves to traditional notions of gender, femininity, and corporeality, as well as racial and sexual norms. The contributors draw on a range of disciplines, including folklore, history, and literary studies, to consider issues such as religious and social contexts, colonialism, constructions of racial and gendered identities, and the female body. By examining the complex cultural anxieties and fascinations surrounding the female werewolf, this book reveals its significance as a manifestation of deep-rooted cultural concerns. It is an essential study for scholars of popular culture, cultural history, and gender studies.
