Gender and the Representation of Evil

Book Overview

This collection explores representations of "evil" women in history, art, and literature. When women perpetrate violence or defy cultural norms, explanations for this transgression of gender roles often rely upon culturally specific understandings of "evil." Here, an assemblage of international scholars examine this label in various texts and contexts.
