Germana's examination of the many women in the Bond films ... is nothing short of revolutionary, giving power and agency to women who continually challenge a seemingly patriarchal universe. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * CHOICE * It's hard to imagine a more thorough examination of the problematic heart of the James Bond franchise. Monica Germana's Bond Girls is endlessly fascinating and informative. * Anthony Horowitz * Through the prisms of body and fashion, Monica Germana provides a fascinating analysis of women in James Bond. With critical rigour she illustrates the complexity and strength behind the Bond Girl stereotype. Both persuasive and provocative, it makes for a compelling read. * Neal Purvis, co-writer of seven Bond films, from 'The World is Not Enough' to 'Bond 25' * Meticulously researched, rich in sartorial detail and packed with fresh insight, Bond Girls is a real treat of a book. Monica Germana offers a thrilling defence not only of the Bond Girls' feminist credentials, but also of the importance of fashion to literary and filmic analysis. * Catherine Spooner, Lancaster University, UK * Monica Germana has written a stylish book on a topic that never fails to elicit attention from fans and critics alike. A great resource - very clever and insightful. * Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK and co-author of '#Geographies, Genders and Geopolitics of James Bond' (2017) *
