Overview

"Starting from the historical link between criminality and sexual deviancy, this text builds a complex theory in which the shadow of the lesbian animates representations of violent women in literature, plays, films and performance. Chapters detail this theory in diverse areas, including: Frank Wedekind's ""Lulu Plays""; ""Thelma and Louise"" and ""Basic Instinct""; the performance art of Karen Finley in the context of censorship debates; ""The Split Britches"" performance, ""Lesbians Who Kill"", and ""Fatal Women""."
