A sweeping study of Hollywood from "Now," "Voyager," "The Heiress," and "Flamingo Road" to "Carrie," the "Alien "films, "The Brave One," and the slasher horror genre, this book boldly unsettles commonplace understandings of genre film, female sexuality, and Freudian theory as it makes a strong new case for the queer relevance of female representation.
