Western culture, Moss contends, is saturated with gendered meanings that pervasively and persistently work to oppress women. Moss forcefully and persuasively argues that these labels, and indeed the insidious process of labeling itself, combine to limit women’s legitimacy, authenticity and opportunity to achieve equality. Neither strictly memoir nor broadly scholarship, The Fictional Woman uses Moss’ life story as a launching pad to investigate the way that all women are falsely represented – fictionalised – in our popular culture, our public discourse, our media, hospitals, parliament and shopping malls by a suite of archetypes: the Mother, the Crone, the Body, the Femme Fatale, the Invisible Woman and so on. It turns out that there is nothing at all preternatural about Moss. Tara Moss: " From apocryphal dingbat to fully-fledged frightbat".
