A well written observation on the evolution of the "Unlikable Female" in cinema and tv.
This was a fun look at the archetypes and tropes of how (fictional) women are "allowed" to behave, be seen, and be treated by society and the expected consequences of her actions. Bogutskaya gives plenty of examples of these unlikable female characters as well as interesting behind the scene factoids about them, the actresses, and how the roll or film was received. However, these same fun facts became a bit too redundant for me at times (mainly due to the crossover of several archetypes).
If you love film and "bitchy" woman, this is a enjoyable read overall.
