The exotic and dangerous stereotype of the Gypsy woman formed in
19th-century literature and visual culture remains alive today.
These contemporary cliches about Gypsy culture - both negative and
romanticised - have a long history. In The Gypsy Woman, Jodie
Matthews analyses why the representation of female Gypsy figures in
print, painting, television series such as Big Fat Gypsy Weddings
and social media sites like Instagram matters so much. Some of
these images have been so damaging that they require legal
regulation, but Matthews claims that supposedly positive portrayals
are just as detrimental by reiterating the same story about Gypsies
that have been told since the 19th century. Her study makes this
book a highly relevant resource for students, teachers and
researchers working in literary, cultural, gender and Romani
studies.
