Films like \u003cem\u003eHereditary\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Babadook\u003c\/em\u003e show women coming apart at the seams as the promises of both the family and waged work fail them. In \u003cem\u003eGet Out\u003c\/em\u003e, we see how poor women and women of color perform the invisible labor that holds up our society, experiencing domestic work as a kind of possession. In \"coming of rage\" films such as \u003cem\u003eAssassination Nation and Teeth\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ewe see the ways social reproduction leads to a futureless horizon. Robbed of their dreams but not their power to resist, these heroines emerge as the monsters and avengers we need.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohanna Isaacson\u003c\/b\u003e writes academic and popular pieces on horror and politics.
