This volume of essays provides a critical foray into the methods
used to construct narratives which foreground antiheroines, a trope
which has become increasingly popular within literary media, film,
and television. Antiheroine characters engage constructions of
motherhood, womanhood, femininity, and selfhood as mediated by the
structures that socially prescribe boundaries of gender, sex, and
sexuality. Within this collection, scholars of literary, cultural,
media, and gender studies address the complications of representing
agency, autonomy, and self-determination within narrative texts
complicated by age, class, race, sexuality, and a spectrum of
privilege that reflects the complexities of scripting women on and
off screen, within and beyond the page. This collection offers
perspectives on the alternate narratives engendered through the
motivations, actions, and agendas of the antiheroine, while
engaging with the discourses of how such narratives are employed
both as potentially feminist interventions and critiques of access,
hierarchy, and power.
