HTML:<b>A <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> Best Book of the Year<br /></b><br /> <b>“Smart, funny, and fearless.” —THE BOSTON GLOBE</b><br /> Women have always been seen as monsters. Men from Aristotle to Freud have insisted that women are freakish creatures, capable of immense destruction.<br /> Maybe they are. And maybe that’s a good thing....<br /> Sady Doyle, hailed as “smart, funny and fearless” by the <i>Boston Globe</i>, takes readers on a tour of the female dark side, from the biblical Lilith to <i>Dracula</i>’s Lucy Westenra, from the T-Rex in <i>Jurassic Park</i> to the teen witches of <i>The Craft.</i> 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.<br /> 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, <i>Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers</i> asks women to look to monsters for the ferocity we all need to survive<b>.</b><br /> <b>“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 <i>We Were Feminists Once</i></b>.
