Abstract

The aim of this essay is to analyze the role of myths in the construction of female subjectivity. The construction of new identities through the subversion of myths decodifies the symbolic androcentric imaginary to create new models of femininity. The rewriting of the myths of Penelope, Morgana and Medea shows the capacity of literature to adapt ancestral myths to the new identities of 21st century.
