It explores how the antiheroine shifts dependent on genre, time period, and format, demonstrating that she is capable of both challenging and reaffirming problematic ideologies surrounding women, power, violence, sexuality, and motherhood. Eleanore Gardner argues that the antiheroine is almost always defined by her experience of a patriarchal trauma and must therefore navigate her identity differently and more complexly than her antihero counterpart. The author examines a broad range of texts to understand the antiheroine’s fluidity, her liminal and abject existence, and what these suggest about cultural anxieties surrounding transgressive women.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 159mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 531gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
