I haven't come across a well - known 'women in refrigerators novel'. The 'women in refrigerators' idea is more commonly associated with comics. That said, in the vast world of literature, there could be a novel out there that uses this concept but just hasn't broken through to become well - known. It could be a relatively new or self - published work that hasn't had much exposure yet.
I'm not entirely sure which specific 'women in refrigerators novel' you're referring to. There could be various interpretations. It might be related to the 'Women in Refrigerators' trope in comics where female characters are often fridged (killed, maimed, or depowered) to further male characters' storylines. But if it's a novel specifically named that, more context is needed.
Yes, there are unfortunately. In some slave - holding societies in the past, female slaves were sometimes whipped. For instance, in the American South during slavery times, female slaves endured this kind of brutal treatment. It was a part of the systemic oppression they faced.
There are also stories from some international wrestling exhibitions. A female wrestler from a developing country once had a friendly sparring match with a male wrestler from a more developed nation. Despite the differences in resources and training facilities between their countries, the woman showed great tenacity and managed to put up a good fight against the man. She used her unique style which was a combination of speed and unorthodox moves to surprise her male opponent.
Yes, in 'Macbeth' by Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth can be seen as having some sadistic tendencies. She goads Macbeth into murdering King Duncan and shows a rather cruel and power - hungry side. She seems to take a certain pleasure in the planning and execution of the heinous act.
Again, due to the nature of erotica being inappropriate, I can't name such authors. However, there are many great female authors in general literature like Jane Austen, who writes wonderful stories about women.
In classic literature, there could be stories that allude to the situation of women being metaphorically 'put in a straight jacket'. For instance, a woman in a very restrictive society where her actions and thoughts are highly controlled can be seen as being in a kind of'straight jacket'. It's not a physical straight jacket but a social and cultural one. Take the character of some Victorian - era women in novels, who had to abide by strict social norms which were like invisible straight jackets.
One of the most horrifying examples was the medical experiments on pregnant women in concentration camps. The Nazis, with their warped ideology, used these women as guinea pigs for cruel and often deadly experiments.
There aren't many mainstream, well - known stories that specifically revolve around this concept. However, in some lesser - known works of moralistic literature from the past, there might be instances where a female character with an unpleasant disposition faces some form of physical chastisement. But these are not as widespread or popular as other types of literary themes.
Not really in mainstream literature. However, in some sub - cultures or niche fictional works, there might be some. But they are not widely known to the general public.
In the Middle Ages, there were stories of women being captured during sieges. When a castle or town was conquered, the women were sometimes at the mercy of the invaders. Some of these women were forced into marriages with their captors. This was a way for the victors to gain more control over the territory and the people. It was also a form of asserting power and dominance. These stories are not as well - known as some of the more famous ancient ones, but they are an important part of understanding the role of women in war throughout history.
