Publisher Description

Jans B. Wager. Dames in the Driver's Seat: Rereading Film Noir. Austin, TX: U Texas P, 2005. 190 pages. $50.00 cloth. $21.95 paper. Unlike other recent works on film noir, most of which are critically lightweight and, ultimately, disposable viewing guides (1), Jans B. Wager's Dames in the Driver's Seat: Rereading Film Noir is a lively academic view of film noir. Along with Linda Mizejewski's Hardboiled & High Heeled: The Woman Detective in Popular Culture (New York: Routledge, 2004), Wager's study offers fresh insights into this fascinating genre by linking cultural studies to women's studies.
