The Refrigerator Monologues is a collection of linked
stories from the points of view of the wives and
girlfriends of superheroes, female heroes, and anyone
who’s ever been “refrigerated”: comic book women who are
killed, raped, brainwashed, driven mad, disabled, or had
their powers taken so that a male superhero’s storyline
will progress.
In an entirely new and original superhero universe,
Valente subversively explores these ideas and themes in
the superhero genre, treating them with the same love,
gravity, and humor as her fairy tales. After all,
superheroes are our new fairy tales and these six women
have their own stories to share.
