By employing a theoretical framework that is intricately woven with insights from these psychological frameworks, the works analyzed, including popular television series such as Fleabag (2016-2019), Ladybird (2017), and The Queens Gambit (2020), as well as iconic Disney productions like Brave (2012), Moana (2016), and Frozen (2013), are situated within their historical context and compared to their non-screen predecessors and contemporaries, encompassing myths, fairy tales, and literary works. Through a meticulous examination of these narratives, the book identifies emerging patterns of the female journey, shedding light on how young female characters challenge and redefine traditional feminine personas through the utilization of archetypes such as the trickster, the shadow, and others. By comparing the contemporary female protagonist with her predecessors, the book offers a profound assessment of the new avenues, roles, and milestones that have become available to her. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, this groundbreaking work pioneers the exploration of the construction of the female persona across different time periods and mediums, making it an indispensable resource for students and scholars of film, as well as anyone with an interest in analytical psychology and broader feminist issues in contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 342g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 235 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032181400\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HelenaBassil-Morozow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44310037627130,"sku":"9781032181400","price":32.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688126558891_book.jpg?v=1688198519","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-new-heroines-in-film-and-television-postjungian-perspectives-on-contemporary-female-characters-9781032181400","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
