Helene Meyers

Helene Meyers is an American writer, author, and professor. Her work is focused on the intersections of literary and film studies, feminist and queer studies, and Jewish studies. She also argued that movies are important because they help in forming "our images of ourselves, others, and the world." Her feminist publications included an analogy of gender discrimination to a component of a Gothic world where women are continuously at risk as they roam the streets, make love in their bedrooms, enter their gynecologists' office, or when they consume and produce culture.

She serves as Professor of English and McManis University Chair at Southwestern University. She is Jewish, and a native New Yorker.
