With lively contributions extending the discussion to include ideas around race, queer identity, and age, the book presents timely, crucial, and complex views on women in the gothic.--Frances A. Kamm ""The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 15"" Unapologetically feminist and woman-focused, Women and the Gothic is a bold, hip, theoretically sophisticated collection written by new and established scholars, that examines the complex work of the Gothic in relation to cultural representations of women. Covering a breathtakingly broad cross-section of subject matter, cultural forms/media, and historical phenomena, including fourth-wave feminism, Horner and Zlosnik have produced a highly readable, welcome addition to the series.--University of Windsor ""Carol Margaret Davison""
