Carol J. Clover

Carol J. Clover (born July 31, 1940[1]) is an American professor of film studies, rhetoric language and Scandinavian mythology.[2] She has been widely published in her areas of expertise. Her 1992 book Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film achieved popularity beyond academia,[3] [4] and she is credited with developing the "final girl" theory, within the book, which changed both popular and academic conceptions of gender in horror films.

Clover is a featured expert in the film S&Man, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006.[5] Her son is academic and poet Joshua Clover.
