Inherently liminal, often literally invisible, the female ghost has nevertheless appeared in all genres. Subversive Spirits brings this figure into the light, exploring her cultural significance in a variety of media from 1926 to 2014. Robin Roberts argues that the female ghost is well worth studying for what she can tell us about feminine subjectivity in cultural contexts.
