It explores how the antiheroine shifts dependent on genre, time period, and format, demonstrating that she is capable of both challenging and reaffirming problematic ideologies surrounding women, power, violence, sexuality, and motherhood. Eleanore Gardner argues that the antiheroine is almost always defined by her experience of a patriarchal trauma and must therefore navigate her identity differently and more complexly than her antihero counterpart. The author examines a broad range of texts to understand the antiheroine's fluidity, her liminal and abject existence, and what these suggest about cultural anxieties surrounding transgressive women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanore Gardner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666951447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666951448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Eleanore Gardner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46024969584895,"sku":"9781666951448","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c9803c2-6c6f-4897-9246-594393895f26.jpg?v=1723129653","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disruptive-women-of-literature-eleanore-gardner-9781666951448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
