Are female action heroes truly empowering? - Dan Hassler-Forest (
Utrecht University )
The following is a list of female action heroes and villains who appear in
action films , television shows, comic books, and video games and who are "thrust into a series of challenges requiring physical feats, extended fights, extensive stunts and frenetic chases."
[1]
Elizabeth Abele suggests that "the key agency of female action protagonists is their ability to draw on the full range of
masculine and
feminine qualities in ever-evolving combinations."
