The female fantastic
For women-identified writers the fantastic offered double vision. Not only did the genre offer strategic cover for challenging the status quo, but also a mechanism for teasing out the gendered psyche’s links to creative, personal and erotic agency. These dynamic presentations of female and gender-queer subjectivity are linked in complex matrices to key moments in gender(ed) history. This volume contains essays covering a wide range of topics, including werewolves, mummies, fairies, demons, time travel, ghosts, haunted spaces and objects, race, gender, queerness, monstrosity, madness, incest, empire, medicine, and science.
