| Abstract | ||
The character of Sarah Connor performed by Lynda Hamilton in Terminator 2: Judgment Day serves as a barometer for the representation of‘ ‗Tough Woman‘ in Science Fiction Films. Usually science fiction films portrayed female protagonists as damsel in distress, victim, or femme fatale. But Sarah Connor in T2 transcends all the limitations paving way to recocenptualise gender roles in films in particular and society in general. Using Sherrie Inness‘ four characteristic features which define tough woman i.e., body, attitude, action and authority the paper closely analyses Sarah Connor‘s transformation into a tough woman. |
