Unlikeable Female Characters

Easy to read and free of the somewhat prohibitive lingo of academic media analysis, Unlikable Female Characters provides a short and interesting history of female representation in American movie and television through the lense of the women we are meant to dislike.
I wish more time was spent on certain types of unlikable women but considering the amount of history and examples the author managed to cram in relatively few pages I can't really hold it against the book. I particularly enjoyed the author's criticism of the idea that women representation necessarily has to be feminist in some kind of way to be worthy (edited to add; this book has a resolutely feminist bent so please do not read this comment as an implication that the book is somehow against feminism).
I received an eARC of this book from SOURCEBOOKS through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
