  When
"Thelma and Louise" outfought the men who had tormented them, women across America discovered what male fans of action
movies have long known-the empowering rush of movie violence. Yet the duo's escapades also provoked censure across a
wide range of viewers, from conservatives who felt threatened by the up-ending of women's traditional roles to feminists
who saw the pair's use of male-style violence as yet another instance of women's co-option by the patriarchy. In the
first book-length study of violent women in movies, "Reel Knockouts" makes feminist sense of violent women in films from
Hollywood to Hong Kong, from top-grossing to direct-to-video, and from cop-action movies to X-rated skin flicks.
Contributors from a variety of disciplines analyse violent women's respective places in the history of cinema, in the
lives of viewers, and in the feminist response to male violence against women.The essays in part one, 'Genre Films',
turn to film cycles in which violent women have routinely appeared. The essays in part two, 'New Bonds and New
Communities', analyse movies singly or in pairs to determine how women's movie brutality fosters solidarity amongst the
characters or their audiences. All of the contributions look at films not simply in terms of whether they properly
represent women or feminist principles, but also as texts with social contexts and possible uses in the re-construction
of masculinity and femininity. Martha McCaughey, author of "Real Knockouts: The Physical Feminism of Women's
Self-Defense", is Associate Professor of Women's Studies in the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies at Virginia Tech.
Neal King, author of "Heroes in Hard Times: Cop Action Movies" in the U.S. is Assistant Professor of Sociology at
Belmont University in Nashville.

  Review
  "Too violent? Too sexy?
Too passive? Too tough? The first book-length treatment of violent women in the movies, Reel Knockouts aims to provoke
engagement and launch debate. What do women want these days? Who wants violent women? How? Why? From Hong Kong to
Hollywood, contributors track criminals and tail cops, scrutinising the mixed messages proffered by noir, horror,
action, activist, and even porn pix in light of contemporary concerns with violence and the representation of violence.
Throughout, political passions prime interdisciplinary insights: beware the Jesse Helms of America! Violent women =
unnatural power and/or unruly sex? HA! A 'wanna' read." -Christine Holmlund, Associate Professor of French, Film, and
Women's Studies and Head of Cinema Studies, University of Tennessee "Trumpeting itself as the first book-length
treatment of violent women in the movies, this anthology has ass-kicking pretensions of its own, declaring its intent to
slap down the girls-with-guns gauntlet in front of feminists and film theorists alike... the editors' tough-talking
challenge to readers to take the screen's mean heroines seriously as pop-cultural players is laudable ..." Sight and
