<p class="Moment-Normal">This article discusses the potential of resistance within the popular through an analysis of <em>Mad Max Fury Road</em> from a feminist critical perspective. In order to do this, the paper focuses on genre and action films as a part of a particular narrative and provides a feminist criticism through the themes of femininity and body, leadership/collective. Acknowledging the relationship between the text and context, the paper demonstrates how the film diverges from the generic conventions through providing popular examples from feminist media studies and a discussion of postfeminism.<strong></strong></p><p class="Gvde"> </p>
