She's too angry. Too weird. Too messy. And now, she's the main character.
Unlikeable Female Characters is a fierce, funny, and razor-sharp takedown of the cultural obsession with "likeable" women-and a celebration of the flawed female icons who broke the rules.
From Amy Dunne in Gone Girl to Regina George, Fleabag, and Skyler White, these are the women who provoke, polarize, and captivate. Anna Bogutskaya-film programmer, broadcaster, and co-founder of the horror collective and podcast The Final Girls-dives into nine pop culture archetypes, from The Bitch and The Psycho to The Slut and The Trainwreck. She shows how these characters were once used to punish women on screen, and why audiences are now starting to celebrate them instead.
This is not just a book about characters. It's about the real-life expectations that hem women in, and the stories that finally let them out.
Why you'll love it:
- Bold feminist insight wrapped in wit and pop savvy
- Cultural deep-dives across film, TV, and music-from Bette Davis to Promising Young Woman
- A must-read for fans of complex female leads and feminist cultural critique
Praise for Unlikeable Female Characters:

- "Part-cultural exposé, part-Taylor Swift album." -Clarisse Loughrey, Chief Film Critic at The Independent

So much fun yet very informative
A very entertaining and informative book about the „unlikable“ roles women are now „allowed“ to portray in TV and film, the history of these characters as well as their achievements. The writing is easy yet engaging and i was hooked from the start. The historical and psychological aspects were the most interesting to me. But keep in mind: This is a book about movies, TV series and their characters, so there will be spoilers for those discussed.
