There She Goes Again

There She Goes Again interrogates the representation of ostensibly powerful women in transmedia franchises, examining how presumed feminine traits--love, empathy, altruism, diplomacy--are alternately lauded and repudiated as possibilities for effecting long-lasting social change. By asking under what terms women protagonists are imagined, envisioned, embodied, and replicated in media, this book challenges how we should define--and whether we need--feminine forms of knowledge and power.
