Women Who Kill explores several lines of inquiry: the female
murderer as a figure that destabilizes order; the tension between
criminal and victim; the relationship between crime and expression
(or the lack thereof); and the paradox whereby a crime can be both
an act of destruction and a creative assertion of agency. In doing
so, the contributors assess the influence of feminist, queer and
gender studies on mainstream television and cinema, notably in the
genres (film noir, horror, melodrama) that have received the most
critical attention from this perspective. They also analyse the
politics of representation by considering these works of fiction in
their contexts and addressing some of the ambiguities raised by
postfeminism. The book is structured in three parts: Neo-femmes
Fatales; Action Babes and Monstrous Women. Films and series
examined include White Men Are Cracking Up (1994); Hit & Miss
(2012); Gone Girl (2014); Terminator (1984); The Walking Dead (2010
); Mad Max: Fury Road (2015); Contagion (2011) and Ex Machina
(2015) among others.
