| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The use of the Femme Fatale archetype in oral tradition and ancient literature has carried over into modern times. While some look at the use of a manipulative woman as a form of misogyny, others point to the power of the female gender in the role. This book looks at the origins of the Femme Fatale character, versions of the archetype and ancient women associated with the character. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
