Abstract

Nowadays, young adult literature is becoming increasingly popular and occupies an important place in the book market. Among the different genres offered to young readers, urban fantasy has a considerable potential. The aim of the present study is to examine if Patricia Briggs’ series about the adventures of Mercy Thompson can be considered as a literary work for young feminists. The analysis of the protagonist (an urban hunter and a shapeshifter) and some events in her life (relationship with her partner and rape) demonstrates the feminist aspect of the series.
