Author Julie Grossman provides a history of some of this dynamic figure's eruptions in film, TV, and culture generally, exploring the notions of female ambition, frustration, and intelligence that undergird the power and fascination of the femme fatale across time and media. We see how the fatal woman often mediates contradictory views on women's lives and their desire to gain fulfillment in a hostile or otherwise challenging environment. Embodied by some of the most charismatic female performers in Hollywood history, from Theda Bara and Barbara Stanwyck to Hedy Lamarr, Reese Witherspoon, and Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, the femme fatale remains an active source of pleasure and subversion. Femmes Fatales pays particular attention to performance not only as a prominent feature of these works' production-established in part through references to studio press books and popular reviews--but also as a theme within the narrative (in, for example, the idea of the deceitful, untrustworthy, or "performing" woman). Focusing on expressive moments and scenes in texts that are celebrated and also those that are lesser known, this volume attends to the variety, trauma, wit, and transgressions of the femme fatale, emphasizing how this figure continually provokes us to reflect on rigid conventions and social roles. Femmes Fatales generates questions and analysis that speak to why stories about gender and criminality featuring tough and smart women are so endlessly thrilling"--|cProvided by publisher 546 In English. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 23, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Femmes fatales in motion pictures. 650 0 Femmes fatales. 650 0 Nurse and patient. 650 7 Nurse and patient|2fast 650 7 Femmes fatales|2fast 650 7 Femmes fatales in motion pictures|2fast 650 7 PERFORMING ARTS / General.|2bisacsh 653 Film, Media Studies, Communications, Women's Studies, Cultural Studies, women, women studies, Criticism, History, popular culture, Art, social Science, style, language, stories, Cinema, Video, Author, Julie Grossman, culture generally, female ambition, Females frustration, females intelligence, Theda Bara, Barbara Stanwyck, Hedy Lamarr, Reese Witherspoon, Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, gender, criminality, smart women. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGrossman, Julie, 1962-|tFemme fatale. |dNew Brunswick : Rutgers University Press, 2020 |z9780813598246|w(DLC) 2019052763|w(OCoLC)1128888288 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2364470|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
