The examination of women spies in a variety of media across the twentieth and into the twenty-first century thus maps the construction and reconstruction of femininity as a shifting, multiple discourse. Women as spies in popular culture are read as commentaries on spesific temporal and cultural femininisties, from Mata Hari to Sydney Bristow, aligning them with other indicators of cultural anxiety about femininity, such as the femme fatale and the New Women. It examine women spies and spy fiction as complex and contradictory accounts of the modern and postmodern West. Women as spies in fiction, film and television map shifts in the politics of gender across the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, disturbing the equilibrium of popular culture. 4aWomen Spies in Motion Pictures 4aSpies in Literature a10550/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10551/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10551/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10550/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10550/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10551/MKRI-P/XI-2008
