| Abstract | "The 1990s was a decade of significant turmoil in Hollywood cinema, which resulted in a watershed moment in the interplay of gender and genre. In this book, Patricia Di Risio identifies underexplored debates in queer theory and politics during the period, arguing that cinematic representations of unconventional women had an important effect on traditionally male oriented genres, such as the crime thriller, road movie, western, film noir, war film, sci-fi, and horror"-- Provided by publisher. |
