This collection of essays focuses on the representations of a
variety of "bad girls"-women who challenge, refuse, or transgress
the patriarchal limits intended to circumscribe them-in television,
popular fiction, and mainstream film from the mid-twentieth century
to the present. Perhaps not surprisingly, the initial introduction
of women into Western cultural narrative coincides with the
introduction of transgressive women. From the beginning, for good
or ill, women have been depicted as insubordinate. Today's popular
manifestations include such widely known figures as Lisbeth
Salander (the "girl with the dragon tattoo"), The Walking Dead's
Michonne, and the queen bees of teen television series. While the
existence and prominence of transgressive women has continued
uninterrupted, however, attitudes towards them have varied
considerably. It is those attitudes that are explored in this
collection. At the same time, these essays place
feminist/postfeminist analysis in a larger context, entering into
ongoing debates about power, equality, sexuality, and gender.
