In doing so, the contributors assess the influence of feminist, queer and gender studies on mainstream television and cinema, notably in the genres (film noir, horror, melodrama) that have received the most critical attention from this perspective. They also analyse the politics of representation by considering these works of fiction in their contexts and addressing some of the ambiguities raised by postfeminism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is structured in three parts: Neo-femmes Fatales; Action Babes and Monstrous Women.
