not an exhaustive guide to deconstructing fictional screen women pejoratively referred to as "unlikeable". and it doesn't try to be. as anna bogutskaya writes in the last chapter, the point is to strive for empathy - which she does in each section dedicated to exploring the many stereotypes "unlikeable" these women have been shoehorned into, as well as the artists that brought them to life.
