Summary

With hundreds of stunning photographs and entertaining vignettes from classic, cult, and little-known films, The Modern Amazons documents the transformation of the archetypal warrior woman in film and on television, from early film figures like Joan of Arc to the present-day onslaught of strong female action characters. Authors Dominique Mainon and James Ursini offer a one-two punch of sheer fun and keen insight that puts this growing trend in sociological perspective. Book jacket.
