This book is the first to systematically examine the representation of women by mainstream Hebrew authors from the Palmah Generation to the New Wave. Fuchs' unique analytical method exposes the male-centered bias which often inspires the works of such prominent and widely translated authors as S. Yizhar, Moshe Shamir, A. B. Yehoshua and Amos Oz. She exposes both the continuities and the transformations in the literary representations of women and explains them in innovative ways, grounded in aesthetic, social, political, and cultural conditions and ideologies.The bold and unexpected discoveries offered by this book illuminate the complex ways in which Israel's political predicaments, for example, affect the representation of women, as well as the various ways in which Israeli literature uses female images to express the anxiety and frustration arising from these predicaments. This pioneering study will be invaluable to feminist literary critics, scholars, and teachers and students of modern Hebrew literature.

"Wat bezielde Euripides om de allochtone Medea ten tonele te voeren wanneer oorlogswolken zich boven Athene samenpakken? Waarom wil de duivel Mariken van Nieumeghen inwijden in de wondere kunst van de alchemie? Welke alliantie heeft Lady Macbeth gesloten met de heksen op de heide? Wat ligt de revolver op Winnies zandhoop in Becketts 'Happy Days' daar zo omineus te blinken? Elk personage draagt geheimen mee. Laurens De Vos vindt de passende sleutel om ze hen te ontfutselen. Hij volgt tien fascinerende vrouwen. Heksen en heiligen, moeders en minnaressen. Vrouwen die gevangen zitten in een mannelijke burcht, maar ook vrouwen die de lakens uitdelen. Deze theatergeschiedenis verkent het tijdsbestek waarin ze zich bewegen en onthult hoe ze een commentaar zijn op de maatschappelijke én literaire zeden van hun tijd."--

The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men. Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishers’ studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like June Tarpé Mills and Lily Renée are placed at the center rather than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and Señorita Rio are analyzed. Comic Book Women offers a feminist history of the golden age of comics, revising our understanding of how numerous genres emerged and upending narratives of how male auteurs built their careers. Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality, the authors examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science fiction, superhero, and Western comics to unpack the cultural and industrial consequences of how women were represented across a wide range of titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and others. This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done by women in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and characters into the canon of comics history.
