Rolling Stone did a whole article on how Silence of the Lambs challenged the role of victim in dark/horror movies. The article suggested that the roles of Clarice Starling as the heroine and Catherine Martin as the rescued sort of princess role by another woman challenged those roles that put woman as victims or, Punky, as you said, women only suriving with the aid of a man.

You might be able to either find that issue, it's pretty damn old, on microfilm in a large city library.

I read it in middle school, and I'm now 28. I'm also the forum's token feminist.:D
