<p>The final girl is the one who makes it out alive—but does that make her a feminist icon? </p><p>Grab your popcorn (and maybe a weapon) as Lucero and Ixchel kick off <em>Bitch Up</em>’s Halloween series with a fun, sharp look at horror’s most famous survivor.</p><p>From Laurie Strode to Grace, Pearl, and Maxine, they track how the final girl has gone from “be careful and stay pure” to “actually, I have a plan—and possibly a chainsaw.” Along the way, they unpack the male gaze, female rage, class, sexuality, and what it means to survive a slasher on your own terms.</p><p>So… is being a final girl feminist? The answer gets messier—and way more interesting—than just making it to the credits.</p>
