         The phenomenon of the “alpha female”, [DELETE THE COMMA] has recently developed with the unveiling of a new generation of iron-willed and tough-minded female icons in various domains. Consequently, critical studies, scholarly analyses [ADD A COMMA] and extensive researches have been conducted for observing the differences between the subordinate past and the predominant present stature of the female figures. This perception stands upon social as well as cultural variables that have affected the literary and the screening identity of the new woman.  On this regard, it is recently noticed that alpha females can later take revenge by themselves and turn into killing and dangerous women “femme fatales”.  Thus, the researcher’s selected texts would provide the uncompromising figure of the female character that cannot be considered powerless or weak any more, since she is capable of committing horrific acts of bloody revenge. Therefore, this study critically and psychologically reviews some notable literary as well as screen versions of the feminist revenge psychopathy, and how far they could be wild and aggressive when they are traumatized, betrayed, or abused, which have been impacting the world’s new social and cultural image of women in modern times.
