The new female antihero : the disruptive women of twenty-first-century US television / by Hagelin, Sarah,author.; Silverman, Gillian D.,1967-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: The new female antihero -- the what, the why, the how -- Ambition TV. The limits of the female antihero in Game of Thrones ; The impossibility of the marriage plot in The Americans ; Scandal and the failure of postracial fantasy ; Homeland and the rejection of the domestic plot -- Shame TV. Feminist anti-aspirationalism in Girls ; Liberation and whiteness in Broad City ; The difference that race makes in Insecure ; Working-class identity and matriarchal community in SMILF."The last ten years have presented television viewers with a host of female characters the likes of which we've never seen before. Selfish, vengeful, and often deeply unlikeable, they fly in the face of our expectations for women. In The New Female Antihero, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman probe the stories of female protagonists who eschew aspirations for a career, marriage, and children, swerving instead toward utter apathy, at one end of the spectrum, or unadulterated power at the other. From the bloodthirsty queens of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland to the shrugging failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism in contemporary America.As Hagelin and Silverman show, their narratives of ruthlessness, insanity, hedonism, and precarity call into question both the possibility and the desirability of the "good life" their forebears achieved through entitlement, pluck, and leaning in"--

The infinite miles / by Fergesen, Hannah,author.(CARDINAL)874654;
"To save the future, she must return to the beginning. Three years after her best friend Peggy went missing, Harper Starling is lost. Lost in her dead-end job, lost in her grief. All she has are regrets and reruns of her favorite science fiction show, Infinite Odyssey. Then Peggy returns and demands to be taken to the Argonaut, the fictional main character of Infinite Odyssey. But the Argonaut is just that ... fictional. Until the TV hero himself appears and spirits Harper away from her former best friend. Traveling through time, he explains that Peggy used to travel with him but is now under the thrall of an alien enemy known as the Incarnate--one that has destroyed countless solar systems. Then he leaves Harper in 1971. Stranded in the past, Harper must find a way to end the Incarnate's thrall ... without the help of the Argonaut. But the cosmos are nothing like the technicolor stars of the TV show she loves, and if Harper can't find it in herself to believe--in the Argonaut, in Peggy, and most of all, in herself--she'll be the Incarnate's next casualty, along with the rest of the universe."--From book jacket flap.

Unlikeable female characters : the women pop culture wants you to hate / by Bogutskaya, Anna,author.(CARDINAL)866465;
Includes bibliographical references, filmography and index."Female characters throughout history have been burdened by the moral trap that is likeability. Any woman who dares to reveal her messy side has been treated as a cautionary tale. And yet today, unlikeable female characters are everywhere in film, TV, and wider pop culture. For the first time ever, they are being accepted by audiences and even showered with industry awards. We are finally accepting that women are--gasp--fully fledged human beings. How did we get to this point? Unlikeable Female Characters traces the evolution of highly memorable female characters, from Samantha Jones as "The Slut" in Sex and the City to the iconic Mean Girl, Regina George, examining what exactly makes them popular, how audiences have reacted to them, and the ways in which pop culture is finally allowing us to celebrate the complexities of being a woman. Anna Bogutskaya, film programmer, broadcaster, and co-founder of the horror film collective and podcast The Final Girls, takes us on a journey through popular film, TV, and music, looking at the nuances of womanhood on and off-screen to reveal whether pop culture--and society--is finally ready to embrace complicated women"--
