In May of 2022, Columbia University’s Dr. Eleanor Johnson watched along with her students as the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. At the same time, her class was studying the 1968 horror film Rosemary’s Baby and Johnson had a sudden epiphany: horror cinema engages directly with the combustive politics of women’s rights and offer a light through the darkness and an outlet to scream. With a voice as persuasive as it is insightful, Johnson reveals how classics like Rosemary’s Baby , The Exorcist , and The Shining expose and critique issues of reproductive control, domestic violence, and patriarchal oppression. Scream with Me weaves these iconic films into the fabric of American feminism, revealing that true horror often lies not in the supernatural, but in the familiar confines of the home, exposing the deep-seated fears and realities of women’s lives. While on the one hand a joyful celebration of seminal and beloved horror films, Scream with Me is also an unflinching and timely recognition of the power of this genre to shape and reflect cultural dialogues about gender and power.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781668087633","publication_date":"20250930","publisher":"Atria Books","slug":"scream-with-me","subtitle":"Horror Films and the Rise of American Feminism (1968-1980)","title":"Scream With Me"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"PER004130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Horror Films","score":0.7702,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"PER004030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Film History","score":0.699,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LIT025050","confidence_band":"low","label":"Women in Literature","score":0.68,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"PER004130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Horror Films","score":0.7702,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"PER004030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Film History","score":0.699,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LIT025050","confidence_band":"low","label":"Women in Literature","score":0.68,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"PER004030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Film History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"PER004130","confidence_band":"high","label":"Horror Films","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SOC022000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Pop Culture Studies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Horror Films","score":0.7702,"slug":"horror-films"},{"label":"Film History","score":0.699,"slug":"film-history"},{"label":"Women in Literature","score":0.68,"slug":"women-in-literature"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Horror Films","Good for readers interested in horror","Good for readers who enjoy Horror Films and Film History."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jill Burke"],"book_id":"9781639365906","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781639365906.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":10.316,"title":"How to Be a Renaissance Woman","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781639365906"},{"authors":["Marilyn French","Margaret Atwood"],"book_id":"9781558615830","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781558615830.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":10.3136,"title":"From Eve to Dawn, a History of Women in the World, Volume III","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781558615830"},{"authors":["Ruth O.
