Abstract
The representations of violent women in Joss Whedon's 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' (1997-2003) and the development of this trope compare intriguingly with Charlotte Dacre's early nineteenth-century protagonist in 'Zofloya; or, The Moor' (1806). Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt and Jean Elshtain, this chapter argues that Whedon's exploration of the relationship between women and violence suggests ways in which to reconsider the consequences and responsibilities - as well as potentials - for women's use of violent means to oppose systematic oppression.
