She-wolf explores the cultural history of the female werewolf,
from her first appearance in medieval literature to recent incarnations
in film, television and popular literature. The book includes
contributors from various disciplines, and offers a cross-period,
interdisciplinary exploration of a perennially popular cultural
production. The book covers material from the Middle Ages to the present
day with chapters on folklore, history, witch trials, Victorian
literature, young adult literature, film and gaming. Considering issues
such as religious and social contexts, colonialism, constructions of
racial and gendered identities, corporeality and subjectivity – as well
as female body hair, sexuality and violence – She-wolf reveals
the varied ways in which the female werewolf is a manifestation of
complex cultural anxieties, as well as a site of continued fascination.
