Ira Levin’s The Stepford Wives has not garnered a lot of critical attention as a horror text, with scholars tending to focus more on its indebtedness to second wave feminism. The work has been approached as an ironic backlash against the movement when inserted within that framework. In my article, I...

As usual with horror texts, under the guise of a fantastic scenario, Levin was aiming at revealing some of the most pressing problems and concerns of contemporary society (the situation of women in patriarchal society). In addition to these topical issues, there are various elements in the book which address timeless fears and anxieties independent of the given social era (such as fear of alienation or fear of animated machines). | |
