In contemporary popular culture, armed women take center stage - but how can they be read from a feminist perspective? How do films, comics, and TV series depict the newly fashionable gunwomen between objectification and feminist empowerment? The contributions to this volume ask this question from different vantage points in cultural and literary studies, film and visual culture studies, history, and art history. They examine military and civic gun cultures, the rediscovery of historical armed women and revolutionaries, cultural phenomena such as gangsta rap, narcocultura and US politics, Bollywood and French cinema, and distinct genres such as the graphic novel, the romance novel, or the German police procedural Tatort.

Teresa Hiergeist works at the Department of Romance Studies at Universität Wien, where she is responsible for French and Spanish literature and culture.

Stefanie Schäfer is a visiting Professor of North American Studies at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and a former Marie-Curie fellow at the Universität Wien.
