Action Chicks: New Images of Tough Women in Popular Culture, Sherri A Iness.  A nice collection of academic essays on "tough women" in current or recent television shows. The usuals are all covered (Buffy, Xena, and Nikita) as well as Dark Angel, Witchblade, Farscape and "mob women." It's nice to see some variety. All the scholarship seems sound, and the essays are easy for the lay reader to understand - a feature not nearly common enough in collections of this kind.
