Repression more than aggression was seen as woman's domain. But recently there's been a noticeable cultural shift. With growing frequency, women's aggression is now celebrated in contemporary culture--in movies and TV, online ventures, and art. In Push Comes to Shove, Maud Lavin examines these new images of aggressive women and how they affect women's lives. Aggression, says Lavin, need not entail causing harm to another; we can think of it as the use of force to create change--fruitful, destructive, or both. And over the past twenty years, contemporary culture has shown women seizing this power. Lavin chooses provocative examples to explore the complexity of aggression, including the surfer girls in Blue Crush, Helen Mirren as Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect, the homicidal women in Kill Bill, and artist Marlene McCarty's mural-sized Murder Girls. Women need aggression and need to use it consciously, Lavin writes. With Push Comes to Shove, she explores the questions of how to manifest aggression, how to represent it, and how to keep open a cultural space for it. --From publisher's description. 606 $aWomen in art 606 $aWomen in popular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen in popular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aAggressiveness in art 606 $aAggressiveness in popular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAggressiveness in popular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aArts, American$y20th century 606 $aArts, American$y21st century 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 610 $aARTS/General 615 0$aWomen in art. 615 0$aWomen in popular culture$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in popular culture$xHistory 615 0$aAggressiveness in art. 615 0$aAggressiveness in popular culture$xHistory 615 0$aAggressiveness in popular culture$xHistory 615 0$aArts, American 615 0$aArts, American 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 676 $a704.9/4240973 700 $aLavin$b Maud$0625100 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791683903321 996 $aPush comes to shove$93728007 997 $aUNINA
