Carol J. Clover, born in 1940, is a professor of film, rhetoric, and Scandinavian at the University of California, Berkeley. She has been widely published in her areas of expertise. Her 1992 book Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film achieved popularity beyond academia, and she is credited with developing the "final girl" theory, within the book, which changed both popular and academic conceptions of gender in horror films.
