The Girls Who Fight: Femininity in Tomb Raider and Vampire Slayer.
This paper examines two women characters from different media. Tomb Raider features Lara Croft, a woman heroine; Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a demon-fighter. Because both characters defy many feminine traits in their activity, their femininity is represented in specific sexual ways, ensuring that the audiences recognize these women as heterosexuals. As such, heterosexuality is relied upon for determining their femininity. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
