From Mrs Peel to the first female Doctor Who, this book offers a
timely focus on the popular phenomenon of the cult TV heroine. The
enduring phenomenon of cult TV itself is carefully explored through
questions of genre, the role of the audience and the external
environment of technological advances and business drivers.
Catriona Miller then suggests a fresh account of the psychological
dimension of the phenomenon utilising Carl Jung’s concepts of the
transcendent function and active imagination. Her analysis of the
heroines themselves considers the workings of the audio-visual text
alongside narrative and character arcs, exploring the complex and
contradictory ways in which the heroines are represented.
Established cult TV favourites such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
The X Files, and Xena: Warrior Princess are examined alongside more
recent shows such as Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Jessica Jones
and American Horror Story: Coven.
