A Vindication of the Redhead investigates red hair in literature,
art, television, and film throughout Eastern and Western cultures.
This study examines red hair as a signifier, perpetuated through
stereotypes, myths, legends, and literary and visual
representations. Brenda Ayres and Sarah E. Maier provide a history
of attitudes held by hegemonic populations toward red-haired
individuals, groups, and genders from antiquity to the present.
Ayres and Maier explore such diverse topics as Judeo-Christian
narratives of red hair, redheads in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, red
hair and gender identity, famous literary redheads such as Anne of
Green Gables and Pippi Longstocking, contemporary and Neo-Victorian
representations of redheads from the Black Widow to The Girl with
the Dragon Tattoo, and more. This book illuminates the symbolic
significance and related ideologies of red hair constructed in
mythic, religious, literary, and visual cultural discourse.
