Lara Croft: feminist icon or cyberbimbo? On the limits of textual analysis
No full textAs the title suggests, the feminist reception of Lara Croft as a game character has been ambivalent to say the least. The question itself presupposes an either/or answer, thereby neatly expressing the polarities around which most popular media and academic discussions of Lara Croft tend to revolve.
