Madcaps, Screwballs, and Con Women: The Female Trickster in American CultureUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 1998 - 258 pages Women have been tricking men for thousands of years, and female tricksters have been appearing in classic and popular texts at least since the Thousand and One Nights. While there are many studies of tricksters, few have focused on the chicanery of women, and none have dealt with the ways in which the female trickster is constructed in America. |
