- Description
- Author looks into famous heist movies and heist stories in pop cultures. The role of women in most heist stories are that of the girlfriend, or the tagalong, or the bank teller. Author argues that a feminist heist has to include a woman to be the criminal mastermind, and the crew needs to be all or at least majority, women.
