Wonder women, G. I. Janes, and vampire slayers increasingly populate the American cultural landscape. What do these figures mean in the American cultural imagination? What can they tell us about the female body in action or in pain? This title explores the way American popular culture thinks about vulnerability, arguing that culture and scholarship remain invested in the myth of the helplessness of the female body.
