In this episode, I discuss the depiction of villainous women in the 1960s Bond films. I examine how these films register the political impact of second wave feminism through the contrasting of "good" (i.e. the Bond Girl) and "bad" (i.e. villainous women) figures. I also explore the influence of stereotypes associated with red-haired women on the design of antagonists like Rosa Klebb (1963), Fiona Volpe (1965), Helga Brandt (1967) and Irma Bunt (1969).
