Rikke Schubart

Rikke Schubart (born November 16, 1966) is a Danish author and film scholar, who teaches at Institute for Litterature, Culture and Media at Syddansk Universitet in Odense, Denmark. Her research has focused on American popular cinema after 1970.

She made her literary debut in 1993 with "I lyst og død: Fra Frankenstein til splatterfilm", an analysis of the horror genre in film and litterature. She has since then written a number of books about horror and action films and about women in films.

Her latest English-language book, "Super Bitches and Action Babes: The Female Hero in Popular Cinema, 1970-2006" (McFarland, 2007), has chapters on film stars such as Pam Grier and Sigourney Weaver as well as lesser known actresses like Meiko Kaji, Cynthia Rothrock and Milla Jovovich.

She has also written a children's book, "Prinsessen der brokkede sig hele tiden" (Høst og søn, 2005).
