Description:Bombshell spies, slayers, witches and assassins: kick-ass female stars have taken over blockbuster movies like Charlie's Angels and Kill Bill as well as prime time TV hits such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed.

How are young women to respond to these images of women who fight (or bite) back? As the product of corporate media, are these icons of "female power" merely cons?This one-of-a-kind anthology of new fiction, essays and comics recognizes the seductiveness as well as the limitations of such contemporary pop culture heroines.
