Documents the search for the origins of the iconic "femme fatale" who was depicted as a dangerous, depraved, and deadly woman. This book argues that the evolution of the femme fatale, with both literary and visual links to the biblical Eve figure, came as a response to increasing feminism and the desire by men to halt its spread.
