The exotic and dangerous stereotype of the Gypsy woman formed in
nineteenth-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 nineteenth century. Her
study makes this book a highly relevant resource for students,
teachers and researchers working in literary, cultural, gender and
Romani studies.
