Omschrijving
This study concerns itself with the representation
and metaphor of the American female gender in the age
of worldly greed in the 1980s and 1990s and how this
becomes symbolically represented by the woman
warrior-hero of contemporary science fiction films.
It puts forward the argument that America was
undergoing great social changes due to the pursuit of
the American Dream, which was fuelled by this elementof greed during these two decades. In the process,
the balance of corporate and political power that was
once the domain of male hegemony, was now challenged.
This is because women became the new power brokers
and patriarchal concepts of the status and role of
women was now being reshaped as she was no longer the
dutiful wife, mother and efficient homemaker. Instead
she emerged to become the passionate politician,
enterprising entrepreneur and sexual predator whose
aggressive persona became difficult to ignore. This
research thus makes a correlation between the social
changes and challenges the American working woman was
undergoing with Hollywood s representation of her
meteoric rise in the form of the woman warrior-hero
character.
