(And bitten!) The biting writer~girl contributors of Girls Who Bite Back fight back at the old, worn~out helpless~girl clichés of yesterday's pop culture. They know ~ and I know, too! ~the Great Secret, learned from comics, taught us by the likes of Buffy and Xena: we are all superheroines." TRINA ROBBINS, author of The Great Women Cartoonists and Tender Murderers: Women Who Kill. Taking on the bombshell spies, slayers, witches and assassins who are fighting their way into movies and television shows everywhere, Girls Who Bite Back examines what these new role models for young women are really about. Emily Pohl~Weary, co~author with Judith Merril of the Hugo Award~winning Better to Have Loved: The Life of Judith Merril and editor of Kiss Machine magazine, puts her unique stamp on the field of speculative fiction and pop culture in this one~of~a~kind anthology of short fiction, cultural analysis, comics and original artwork. Contributors dissect the best and the worst supergirls, envision new role models, explore the ugly side of girls who fight back and even create a do~it~yourself guide to being a superhero. With rich insight as well as wry irreverence, Girls Who Bite Back cuts through the layers of the new "female power," questioning its corporate origins and investigating issues of race and sexual orientation. From Little Orphan Annie to Kill Bill, Girls Who Bite Back shows how far we've come, how far we have to go, and gives us a sneak peak at a future where all girls bite back.
