Fatal Women - Lesbian Sexuality and the Mark of Aggression (Paperback)

Starting from the historical link between criminality and sexual deviancy, this text builds a complex theory in which the shadow of the lesbian animates representations of violent women in literature, plays, films and performance. Chapters detail this theory in diverse areas, including: Frank Wedekind's "Lulu Plays"; "Thelma and Louise" and "Basic Instinct"; the performance art of Karen Finley in the context of censorship debates; "The Split Britches" performance, "Lesbians Who Kill", and "Fatal Women".
