The stereotypical 'dangerous women' was around in the 1920's with 'the vamps.' These women reinforce film noir. The 'ordinary Joe' detective is lured in by her 'superwoman powers' This linked to how America felt useless to Europe conflict. The femme fatale tend to be in a love triangle. Threatening a nuclear family. Or herself being married and falling for the 'hero' of the film. They are always beautiful and have a lot of class. This helps with the seducing of the antagonist. They always end up having a second motive to which they originally tell the male.
