Hellions: Pop Culture's Rebel Women

By Maria Raha

A bold redefinition of rebellion through the lens of iconic women in pop culture. Maria Raha challenges the male-centric image of the rebel and celebrates the fierce, flawed, and fearless women who’ve reshaped the cultural landscape.

Book Synopsis

From Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, and from punk rockers to reality TV stars, Hellions explores how women have defied expectations and redefined rebellion. Raha critiques the media’s double standards and expands the definition of what it means to be a rebel in a celebrity-obsessed world. Winner of the Emily Toth Award, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in feminism, pop culture, and gender politics.
