The Female of the Species and its refrain have been used as a catchphrase in other works. In 1928 the Bulldog Drummond story: The Female of the Species may have lifted the title. This story was adapted as the 1967 European spy movie Deadlier Than the Male. Scott Walker of The Walker Brothers wrote and performed the accompanying musical theme and scored a minor hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1966. In 1996 the English pop group Space released "Female of the Species". The title was again lifted in 2006 for Joanna Murray-Smith's satirical play The Female of the Species. A 1946 novel by James Hadley Chase was titled More Deadly Than The Male.
It is recited by the character of Denis Thatcher, played by Jim Broadbent, in the The Iron Lady, 2011.
