Описание: Justice is blind, they say, but perhaps not to beauty. In supposedly dispassionate courts of law, attractive women have long avoided punishment, based largely on their looks, for cold-blooded crimes. The Beauty Defense: Femmes Fatales on Trial gathers the true stories of some of the most infamous femmes fatales in criminal history, collected by attorney and true crime historian Laura James.With cases from 1850 to 1997, these 32 examples span more than a century, across cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic status. But all were so beautiful, as James demonstrates, that they got away with murder.When Madeline Smith, a Glasgow socialite, tried to end a relationship with one man to date another, her jilted lover proved difficult to shake. She solved the problem, James writes, with arsenic-laced chocolates. And in Warrenton, Virginia, mild-mannered heiress Susan Cummings gunned down her polo-playing husband, Roberto, following a disagreement. While these two women lived in different centuries and on different continents, both of their lawyers argued that they were too beautiful to be killers. And in both cases, the juries bought it.In telling the stories of Madeline Smith and Susan Cummings—and 30 others—James proves the existence of the so-called Beauty Defense and shines a spotlight on how gender bias has actually benefited femmes fatales and affected legal systems across the world.

Описание: Ostensibly the villain, but also a model of female power, poise, and intelligence, the femme fatale embodies Hollywood's contradictory attitudes toward ambitious women. But how has the figure of the femme fatale evolved over time, and to what extent have these changes reflected shifting cultural attitudes toward female independence and sexuality?   This book offers readers a concise look at over a century of femmes fatales on both the silver screen and the TV screen. Starting with ethnically exoticized silent film vamps like Theda Bara and Pola Negri, it examines classic film noir femmes fatales like Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity, as well as postmodern revisions of the archetype in films like Basic Instinct and Memento. Finally, it explores how contemporary film and television creators like Fleabag and Killing Eve's Phoebe Waller-Bridge have appropriated the femme fatale in sympathetic and surprising ways.   Analyzing not only the films themselves, but also studio press kits and reviews, The Femme Fatale considers how discourses about the pleasures and dangers of female performance are projected onto the figure of the femme fatale. Ultimately, it is a celebration of how "bad girl" roles have provided some of Hollywood's most talented actresses opportunities to fully express their on-screen charisma.

Описание: In the context of nineteenth-century Victorinoir and close readings of original-cycle film noir, Julie Grossman argues that the presence of the "femme fatale" figure, as she is understood in film criticism and popular culture, is drastically over-emphasized and has helped to sustain cultural obsessions with "bad" women.

Описание: The book argues that Rider Haggard`s She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed , Bram Stoker`s female vampires and Conrad`s destructive Malayan or African women, even Hardy`s Tess , are all caught up in a series of late nineteenth-century contexts: biological determinism, imperialism, race, theories about female sexuality, degeneration and evolutionary theory.

Описание: Gary Douglas ist auf einer Mission, um den fortw hrenden Konflikt zwischen M nnern und Frauen zu beenden. Salon des Femmes basiert auf einer Serie von Telekursen, die Douglas f r eine Gruppe von Frauen abgehalten hat. In dieser Serie diskutieren sie ber M nner, Sex, Beziehungen, die Rollen von M nnern und Frauen und wie man erstaunlich harmonische Beziehungen kreieren kann. Dabei vermischen sich die bahnbrechenden Werkzeuge und Prozesse von Access Consciousness(R) mit einf hlsamen Enth llungen und herzerw rmender Inspiration. Wie Douglas sagt: "Mein Wunsch ist es, den Frauen dieser Welt ein st rkeres Gef hl von Frieden mit sich und mit anderen zu geben und einen Ort, an dem sie nicht das Gef hl haben, sie m ssten um alles k mpfen, was sie bekommen." Douglas ermutigt die Frauen, "Pragmatistinnen der Weiblichkeit" zu werden, indem sie ihre weibliche Kraft daf r einsetzen, das zu kreieren, was sie wollen. Eine "pragmatische Beziehung" ist, wenn beide Partner danach streben, dass die Dinge f r alle Beteiligten funktionieren, meint er. "Gl cklich bis ans Ende ihrer Tage" passiert nicht, au er man ist gewillt, pragmatisch zu sein in Bezug auf die Wahlen, die man trifft.
