A feminist pop-culture essay exploring the concept of “female rage” across film, music, literature, and art.

In this essay, Marion Olité sets out to define the notion of female rage and trace its evolution across pop-culture representations. Through analyses of cult works, from painting and literature to music, film, and television, she examines the concept of the male gaze, and other ways to look at women in pop-culture through the ages.

She also explores how female artists like Valérie Solanas, Virginie Despentes, and Chloé Delaume have reclaimed female rage in the wake of #MeToo, and how it has become a rallying cry on social media for a generation of women who see their own anger reflected in these cultural narratives.
