Charting the emergence of female networks via their most prominent modes of operation, this study comes to life with unconventional interpretations of classic British novels and popular Hollywood films spanning multiple genres and time periods. With incisive readings of Clarissa, Emma, and Evelina, as well as Vertigo, Shadow of a Doubt, Klute, The Terminator, and others, Ned Schantz shakes up narrativecategories and creates a new way of understanding the serious business that is "girl talk.
