**Listed in THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION's Weekly Book List,
May 20, 2011** The theme of female transformation informs the
Hollywood representation of femininity from the studio era to the
present. Whether it occurs physically, emotionally, or on some
other level, transformation allows female protagonists to negotiate
their own complex desires and to resist the compulsory marriage
plot. A sweeping study of Hollywood from Now, Voyager, The Heiress,
and Flamingo Road, to Carrie, the Alien films, The Brave One, and
the Slasher Horror genre, this book boldly unsettles commonplace
understandings of genre film, female sexuality, and Freudian theory
as it makes a strong new case for the queer relevance of female
representation.
