The Evil Twins of American Television: Feminist Alter Egos Since 1960

The Evil Twins of American Television examines evil-twin depictions in over fifty years of television. Employing the ＂schizophrenic split＂ theory of Betty Friedan, Humphreys analyzes the ways in which these alter ego characters embody the desire for a separate self and independence.
