Exploring the Monstrous Feminist Frame: Marvel’s She-Hulk as Male-Centric Postfeminist Discourse
This chapter shows in the various portrayals of She-Hulk the paradoxes of female agency in a hyper-masculine sphere. She-Hulk is nearly always a giant green woman, but her monstrosity varies depending on the space she occupies. Despite consistently having superhuman powers and a law degree, the varied portrayals of the transformed, incredibly strong She-Hulk and her alter-ego Jen Walters reveal the tenuous agency of a woman in hyper-masculine public spaces, both in the text and in culture more broadly.
