dc.description.abstractIn this chapter, Yael Cameron creatively merges the myths of Eve and Medusa via the practice of Hélène Cixous’s feminist theory of writing: écriture féminine. Through an exercise of the poetic, Eve and Medusa are invoked in full embrace of their joy and suffering. The writing performs a series of escapes from the economy of the patriarchal text, giving rise to alternative possibilities that lie dormant in the margins of the two myths: a shadow-reading. Drawing on Cixousian imagery of the orange, the gaze, the night, seas and serpents, and flight, this chapter makes a case for the mythical woman’s unceasing and jubilant arrival into the world.
