Gone Feral

Unruly Women and the Undoing of Normative Femininity

About this book

Challenging traditional norms: A feminist exploration of ferality and female identity.

Gone Feral: Unruly Women and the Undoing of Normative Femininity delves into the concept of ferality, examining how women resist patriarchal expectations and redefine themselves. This collection of essays, poetry, and artwork explores the complexities of female identity, offering a provocative look at women who defy societal constraints.

For scholars and readers interested in gender studies, feminist theory, and cultural analysis, this collection provides:

  • Insightful analysis of ferality as a form of resistance
  • Explorations of maternal deviance and defective mothering
  • Critical perspectives on artistic and literary representations of unruly women
Discover how women reclaim their wildness and challenge the status quo.
