Description
Anna Bogutskaya's new book explores the cultural obsession with "likeable" women and celebrates the flawed female icons who broke the rules.
The author, film programmer and broadcaster, examines nine pop culture archetypes that were once used to punish women on screen, but are now celebrated by audiences instead. From the Bitch to The Trainwreck, Bogutskaya delves into the stories behind these characters and how they reflect real-life expectations of women.
This book is not just about characters, but about the cultural context that shapes our perceptions of women on screen. With bold feminist insight and a dash of pop savvy, Bogutskaya offers a fresh perspective on the complex female leads that captivate us.
