A List of Feminist Horror Writers
Feminist horror Writers
What is feminist horror? For some, it means female driven horror that brazenly challenges social norms. For others, it’s a subtle nod toward dismantling the patriarchy. It’s female protagonists, female villains, female love interests. Feminist horror promotes sisterhood and female writers stepping into male dominated tropes. It’s a term that casts a wide net, and will have slightly different variations for each individual. Some writers consider themselves “feminist horror writers”, while others consider themselves feminists who just so happen to love and write horror. There’s room in this genre for all definitions. When I set out to highlight feminist horror writers, I got a variety of responses, including a few males. Yes, males can be feminist horror writers as well.
