The Science of Women in Horror: The Special Effects, Stunts, and True Stories Behind Your Favorite Fright Films by Kelly Florence, Meg Hafdahl

3.5

---

This is a good overview of women in horror. Although it took me a little while to get use to the organization of the book. Instead of a chronological organization, it's split into topics and each chapter dives into how women are reflected in that topic in both horror and society. There are not many deep dives into specific films but rather more general connections of films and themes to aspects of history and society.
