Gone Feral: Unruly Women and the Undoing of Normative Femininity is an edited collection that probes the concept of ferality as it relates to and intersects with traditional, patriarchal dictates of normative femininity. The collection, appropriately, is a creative hodge-podge of feral representations and enactments that span multiple disciplines and social and existential dimensions and utilizes textual and intertextual analysis, creative non-fiction, feminist theory, critical animal studies, literature, media analysis, poetry, and artwork to explore the complex and contradictory nature of ferality as it exists within, outside, and on the margins of patriarchal culture. Ultimately, the collection seeks to understand and showcase how the concept of ferality may be understood as an inevitable consequence of, and potential resistance to, patriarchal culture and the dictates of normative femininity that have long snared feminine potential, caged feminine spirits, and neutered feminine authenticity
