Book Description
===================
A fresh cultural analysis of female monsters from Greek mythology, and
an invitation for all women to reclaim these stories as inspiration
for a more wild, more “monstrous” version of feminism
The folklore that has shaped our dominant culture teems with
frightening female creatures. In our language, in our stories (many
written by men), we underline the idea that women who step out of
bounds—who are angry or greedy or ambitious, who are overtly sexual or
not sexy enough—aren’t just outside the norm. They’re unnatural.
Monstrous. But maybe, the traits we’ve been told make us dangerous and
undesirable are actually our greatest strengths.
Through fresh analysis of eleven female monsters, including Medusa,
the Harpies, the Furies, and the Sphinx, Jess Zimmerman takes us on an
illuminating feminist journey through mythology. She guides women (and
others) to reexamine their relationships with traits like hunger,
anger, ugliness, and ambition, teaching readers to embrace a new image
of the female hero: one that looks a lot like a monster, with the
agency and power to match.
Often, women try to avoid the feeling of monstrousness, of being
grotesquely alien, by tamping down those qualities that we’re told
fall outside the bounds of natural femininity. But monsters also get
to do what other female characters—damsels, love interests, and even
most heroines—do not. Monsters get to be complete, unrestrained, and
larger than life. Today, women are becoming increasingly aware of the
ways rules and socially constructed expectations have diminished us.
After seeing where compliance gets us—harassed, shut out, and ruled by
predators—women have never been more ready to become repellent,
fearsome, and ravenous.

Out of curiosity, the people who rated it 1star did you even listen to the book or just rated it on your biases?

sounds quite interesting! thank you demogorgon666. … and re qaz444’s question : i wonder if knee jerk automatic hate responses qualify someone as a bad algorithm?

I’m often surprised at the number of incels we have on this site. Still, better they be critiquing books they’ve never read than assaulting women like they usually do.
