Femme Fatale is French for "deadly woman". A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure.
From the ancient times, we have Delilah, Jezebel, Aphrodite, and of course, Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt.
Today, we have the iconic Bond Girls, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Mystique as famous figures synonymous with femme fatale.
Femme Fatale remains an example of female independence and a threat to traditional female gender roles.
Like the Spice Girls always say, GIRL POWER!!!
