  • 1 Unlikability and Female Villains in the Works of Gillian Flynn Cannon
    1 Unlikability and Female Villains in the Works of Gillian Flynn Cannon Elder Lane High Point, North Carolina Bachelor of Arts, English, University of Virginia, 2017 Bachelor of Arts, Spanish, University of Virginia, 2017 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of English University of Virginia May 2018 2 Introduction: In recent years, television and popular fiction have begun to feature a new type of female character termed the “unlikable” woman. From popular novels such as Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train to TV shows such as Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag and Lena Dunham’s Girls, popular cultural products in recent years have begun to center on a depiction of women distinct from any before—at least in terminology.1 In each of these works, female writers depict troubled women, from murderers and alcoholics to narcissists, each unwilling to conform to the standards and expectations of representations of women. In each of these works, the authors of these characters refuse to position them as role models, instead focusing on their extreme negative capacity, presenting their story arcs not as ones of redemption or correction, but as ones of continuous development and iteration of personal defect. Against the trend of hailing positive representations of women in fiction, these flawed and profoundly human characters slide the scale in the opposite direction. Instead of proving the equal intelligence, strength, and positive capacity of women, these characters work to accentuate the negative.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.
