The Life and Loves of a She-Devil is a 1983 novel by British feminist author Fay Weldon.[1] A story about a highly unattractive woman who goes to great lengths to take revenge on her husband and his attractive lover, Weldon stated that the book is about envy,[2] rather than revenge.

The novel was adapted into a BBC television serial in 1986 and an American comedy film, She Devil, in 1989.
