Description
The Stepford Wives by Samantha Lindop is a scholarly study that finally gives this cult classic film the serious attention it deserves. Originally intended as a feminist diatribe, the 1975 film was misunderstood on release and has since become an idiolect for one-dimensional women who are figuratively and to some extent literally automated. This book locates The Stepford Wives in the traditions of the gothic, histories of feminism, fictional imaginings about artificial women, and futures of social robots and AI. By doing so, it underscores the significance of the film as a socio-cultural and socio-political document in its own right. A timely study that pays homage to the original film while going far beyond it. By examining The Stepford Wives through various lenses, this book sheds new light on the film's enduring relevance and importance in understanding our relationships with technology and artificial intelligence.
