Monsters have often been used to represent everything society fears, rejects, or refuses to understand. This provocative exploration looks at the female monsters of mythology and asks what their stories reveal about women, power, sexuality, anger, and social expectations. Familiar figures from ancient myths are reconsidered through a modern lens, transforming traditional tales of dangerous women into opportunities to examine the cultural ideas behind them. Thoughtful and accessible, the book invites readers to question who gets labeled a monster and how mythology can be rewritten to create more complex stories about women.
