Women have always been seen as monsters. Men from Aristotle to Freud have insisted that women are freakish creatures, capable of immense destruction.
Maybe they are. And maybe that’s a good thing….
Sady Doyle, hailed as “smart, funny and fearless” by the Boston Globe, takes readers on a tour of the female dark side, from the biblical Lilith to Dracula’s Lucy Westenra, from the T-Rex in Jurassic Park to the teen witches of The Craft. She illuminates the women who have shaped our nightmares: Serial killer Ed Gein’s “domineering” mother Augusta; exorcism casualty Anneliese Michel, starving herself to death to quell her demons; author Mary Shelley, dreaming her dead child back to life.
These monsters embody patriarchal fear of women, and illustrate the violence with which men enforce traditionally feminine roles. They also speak to the primal threat of a woman who takes back her power. In a dark and dangerous world, Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers asks women to look to monsters for the ferocity we all need to survive.
“Some people take a scalpel to the heart of media culture; Sady Doyle brings a bone saw, a melon baller, and a machete.”—Andi Zeisler, author of We Were Feminists Once

So, “Sady Doyle, hailed as ’smart, funny and fearless’” while she accuses people who disagree with her, via her title, as “fearful”. It is such an incredibly weak argument to claim anyone who opposes “X” is “phobic”. Could someone possibly disagree with homosexuality, Islam, modern feminism, transexuality, et al and have a “reason” that is “rational”,… of course not. You have to be afraid of it, clearly. It automatically tells everyone you have no argument.

One for the thinkers!
Thank you, Goomer.

Saying you disagree with homosexuality is like saying you disagree with lettuce.

If you like this book, then I predict a lot of cats in your future…
It’s a shame that criticism of feminism (an ideology) is seen by so many as misogynist (women-hating). The two are not the same, people.

Look you naysayers… write (or at least read) your own books — to each his or her own. This is an ESSAY collection it is the authors POV. it is not purporting to be journalism. Some of us like learning how others see the world even when their POV is contrary to our own.

can’t help but laugh anytime someone uses “patriarchy” in a non ironic way….sounds like this book will have a lot of interesting stories.the whole fearful patriarchy crap will most likely derail what could have been a good book. that said i may not like something someone uploads but I am always thankful for the work and time people put into sharing books with us.
