Together, they take on the patriarchal myth, where serial killers are heroes, where goddesses--in the form of great white sharks, femmes fatales, and aliens--are ritually slaughtered, and where pornography is the core story underlying militarism, environmental devastation, and racism. They also point to an alternative imagination of female power that still can be found behind the cult devotion given to Princess Diana and animating all the goddesses disguised as popular monsters, queen bitches, mammies, vamps, cyborgs, and sex bombs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJane Caputi is professor of women's studies and communication at Florida Atlantic University and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Age of the Sex Crime\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGossips, Gorgons \u0026amp; Crones: The Fates of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e.
