I don't think I saw "Eight Women" on that list. Lizzie Borden's "Working Girls"?

Your help needed. Hi all As a way of decompressing after the end of the semester, I'm putting together a goofy videography of UCB video holdings entitled: Vamps, Tramps, Hookers, Femmes Fatales and Kick-ass Gurrrls: Transgressive Women in the Movies http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/transgressivewomen.html This is admittedly a real grab-bag: includes women crossing sexual boundaries, sundry violent babes, revenge narratives, madwomen, riot gurrrrls, super-heroines, what have you... What have I left out (besides catwoman from Batman Returns and Lisa Simpson)? I'm mainly looking for films in which the transgressive woman plays a central or leading role. Have fun!
