Together, they take on the patriarchal myth, where serial killers are heroes, where goddesses--in the form of great white sharks, femmes fatales, and aliens--are ritually slaughtered, and where pornography is the core story underlying militarism, environmental devastation, and racism. They also point to an alternative imagination of female power that still can be found behind the cult devotion given to Princess Diana and animating all the goddesses disguised as popular monsters, queen bitches, mammies, vamps, cyborgs, and sex bombs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Caputi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299196208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299196202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Popular Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.28w x 1.26d","brand":"Jane Caputi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057807585535,"sku":"9780299196202","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e74169fb-2068-4d4b-90ad-0d7f2c9098e8.jpg?v=1685048980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/goddesses-and-monsters-jane-caputi-9780299196202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
