Summary:
"Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany plays a host of the show's main characters, all clones of an illegal experiment. The heroines save one another and destroy the patriarchy while subverting gender expectations and celebrating feminism. This book explores these portrayals and how they relate to the science and ethics surrounding cloning through emphasis on women's war against corporate power"-- Provided by publisher.
