In Gina Wisker’s article “Vampires and School Girls: High School Jinks on the Hellmouth”, she makes the point that Buffy is a new kind of women within vampire fictions. She supports this point by showing how Buffy is not a stereotypical helpless woman in a vampire film; Buffy is a strong independent woman who kills vampires and other creatures.
