Alguien me quiere asesinar... y creo que es mi marido : El gótico moderno

For women, love stories are "success, failure, training, and the only possible adventure all rolled into one." Joanna Russ, a leading figure in feminist thought and one of the most lucid and fierce voices in 20th-century literary criticism, dissects the so-called "modern Gothic" with sharp intelligence and humor. With a perspective that combines academic rigor and militant irony, Russ delves into the romantic fantasies that millions of women have read for decades to dismantle the ideological framework that underpins them: passive heroines, redeeming supermen, marriage as a salvific horizon… Behind every storm-battered mansion and every kiss in the shadows, the author exposes a culture that transforms submission into desire and fear into destiny.
