Die mythische Figur Medusa, Symbol von Versace und #SecondWaveFeminism, erfreute sich schon in der griechischen Antike großer Beliebtheit.
Giulia Grossi führt durch die Entwicklung des Mythos von einem furchteinflößenden, Unheil abwehrenden Monster zu einer vermenschlichten Figur:
von Giulia Grossi Kaum einem ikonographischen Symbol antiken Ursprungs ist eine ähnlich breite Rezeption und Verbreitung in moderner Popkultur zuteil geworden wie der mythischen Figur Medusa, der monströsen Frau mit Schlangenhaar und versteinerndem Blick.

I just finished the 2014 #documentary #film SHE'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE'S ANGRY and it is very good.

"One is not #born, but rather becomes, a #woman. No #biological, #psychological, or #economic destiny defines the figure that the #human #female acquires in #society; it is #civilization as a whole that develops this product, intermediate between female and #eunuch, which one calls #feminine. Only the mediation of another can establish an #individual as an #Other. In so far as he exists for himself, the #child would not be able to understand himself as sexually differentiated. In #girls as in #boys the #body is first of all the radiation of a #subjectivity, the instrument that accomplishes the comprehension of the world: it is through the eyes, the hands, and not through the sexual parts that children apprehend the universe."
—Simone de #Beauvoir, philosopher and social theorist, in The Second Sex (1949)
Just my favorite Second Wave feminist, shattering the entire concept of the gender binary and "biological womanhood" in one masterful swoop.
