Gladys L. Knight is a freelance writer. She is the author of Greenwood's Icons of African American Protest: Trailblazing Activists of the Civil Rights Movement.
This is the first work to cover strong women characters in media
since Action Chicks: New Images of Tough Women in Popular Culture
(Palgrave Macmillian, 2004). Its broad appeal makes it a good fit
for public, school, and academic libraries and for anyone
interested in gender roles and the historical time line of female
toughness.
