- Description
- This collection examines fatal femininity as a cultural preoccupation across different cultural contexts and historical epochs. The essays range from cultural figures such as Salome and Mata Hari to the femme fatale of film noir. The collection is united by two key questions: what is at stake in specific constructions of fatal women? How do these constructions relate to their historical and social contexts?
