Women and Other Monsters

Building a New Mythology

Jess Zimmerman

Explore the terrifying female monsters of Greek mythology and discover how these stories can inspire a more "monstrous" version of feminism. Jess Zimmerman's fresh analysis of 11 female monsters, from Medusa to the Sphinx, illuminates the ways in which language and folklore have labeled traits like anger, ugliness, and ambition as unnatural and monstrous in women. With a feminist lens, Zimmerman encourages readers to embrace their inner monster and reclaim the agency and power that comes with being complete, unrestrained, and larger than life.
