Parthenogenesis in SF

2011-02-18T23:08:28Z

Owlqueue: relevant

Reproduction involving development of an unfertilized ovum. Distinguish from technologies or magics that merge multiple ova, or reproduce from a non-ovum. Offspring would usually be clones of the mother; genetic variation would come from merging one ovum with other cells. (But this is sf, so use your imagination.) Sperm, pollen, technological or magical interventions may be needed, but the essence is that only the single cell goes on to develop.

==List of relevant works==
* [[Suzy McKee Charnas]]' ''[[Motherlines]]'' and ''[[The Furies]]''. Charnas' women introduced in Motherlines were genetically altered to reproduce parthenogenetically with starter sperm - which they get from intercourse with horses. The sperm contribute no genetic material but the semen is required to start a pregnancy. The offspring are clones of the mothers, called "motherlines."

* [[Katherine Forrest]], ''[[Daughters of a Coral Dawn]]'' and sequels
* [[Jane Fletcher]], ''[[The World Celaeno Chose]]'' and sequels (third-party telekinetically induced parthenogenesis)

* [[Sally Miller Gearhart]], ''[[The Wanderground]]''
* [[Charlotte Perkins Gilman]], ''[[Herland]]''
* [[Leona Gom]], ''[[The Y Chromsome]]'' (The characters go out of their way to describe their reproductive method -- "ovafusion" -- as neither cloning nor parthenogenesis. Doctors are able to use this method to fuse two eggs together in a woman. Pregnancy and childbirth are normal and the child inherits both parents' genetic material.)
* [[Nicola Griffith]]'s ''[[Ammonite]]''. Women may psychically fertilize one another; pregnancy and childbirth are normal, and the child inherits both parents' genetic material.

* [[Sandi Hall]]. Wingwomen of Hera (Spinsters / Aunt Lute: 1987) - the women of Hera are a parthenogenetic race ...

* Lane, Mary E. Bradley. Mizora
* Lapidus, Jacqueline. "Design for the City of Women," Heresies, no. 3 (Fall 1977). [society of lesbians with parthenogenetic reproduction]

* Merwin, Sam. Sex War. (A conspiracy of women try and fail to create parthenogenesis by tricking a male scientist into doing it for them.)
* Mushroom, Merril. Daughters of Khaton. Actually, it's not exactly clear that women are reproducing parthenogenetically, or if a plant is just making babies for them. The plant definitely seems to be doing it, but somehow by taking the genetics of the women ...

* Russ, Joanna. The Female Man

* Schulman, L. Neil. Rainbow Cadenza (Parthenogenesis is a reproductive option; one central character is parthenogenetic.)
* Rochelle Singer's The Demeter Flower - fertilization with the aid of the Demeter flower
* Joan Slonczewski's A Door Into Ocean - an all-female aquatic race that reproduces by parthenogenesis.
* Stewart, Jean. Isis Series. In the latter part of the 21st century, the women's colonies in the "Freeland" have developed a parthenogenetic technology that allows ova-fusion.

* [[James Tiptree, Jr.]], "Houston, Houston, Do You Read?"

* Young, Donna J. Retreat: As It Was! (Naiad, 1979) (A long, long time ago, the human race is all women ... )

If you have more than a brief comment, or the change involves policy considerations that could be discussed, consider making a talk page for the change itself, by putting '''<nowiki>[[FSFwiki:square brackets around the text]]</nowiki>''' and then clicking on the text.

==2011 log==
* 2011/01/14 - lots of image uploads, so installing [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultiUpload Extension:MultiUpload] --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 19:49, 14 January 2011 (PST)
* 2011/02/18 -
** discovered spam in wiki.feministsf.net/skins/MonoBook.php, by seeing a spam wrapper show up on [http://wiki.feministsf.net/index.php?title=Female_reproduction_without_men_(list_of_works)]. Triggered by one of the words here (which include "sperm"), or simply appearing periodically? Can't figure it out. Grr!
** Moved all MonoBook.php-related files to 20110218.spammed.* filenames (there were 4); uploaded clean MonoBook.php files (there were two) from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download mediawiki.org (ver. 1.16.2)]. will this fix the problem?
** still having the problem. it shows up on an edit-save or an edit-view of that page ([[Female_reproduction_without_men_(list_of_works)]]). Haven't yet seen it on any other page. ... Hitting reload from URL line brings up the original page. It's a wrapper attack.
** testing: triggered on [[Parthenogenesis in SF]] which also has word sperm in it.
** note: not triggered on ''this'' page, which now has word sperm in it.
** edits on any page I test are now producing this spam wrapper. Also, edits from any browser on this laptop. and, edits from other user. applies only to mainspace edits?
** infected files: wcache.dat in root mediawiki directory ... infected content also showing up in multiple cache files at maintenance/sqlite/archives/cache ...
** mv wcache.dat to a 20110218.spammed.* file.
** but STILL getting the goddamned cialis spam file!

Female reproduction without men (list of works)

2011-02-18T23:07:07Z

Owlqueue: edit

==Parthenogenesis and Cloning==
See [[Parthenogenesis]]
* [[David Brin]]. [[Glory Season]] (seasonal sexual reproduction as well as asexual reproduction by cloning)
* [[Suzy McKee Charnas]]' ''[[Motherlines]]'' and ''[[The Furies (novel)|The Furies]]''. Charnas' women introduced in Motherlines were genetically altered to reproduce parthenogenetically with starter sperm - which they get from intercourse with horses. The sperm contribute no genetic material but the semen is required to start a pregnancy. The offspring are clones of the mothers, called "motherlines."
* [[Sandi Hall]]. ''[[Wingwomen of Hera]]'' (Spinsters / [[Aunt Lute]]: 1987) - the women of Hera are a parthenogenetic race ...
* [[Jacqueline Lapidus]]. "Design for the City of Women," ''[[Heresies]]'', no. 3 (Fall 1977). [society of lesbians with parthenogenetic reproduction]
* [[Sam Merwin]]. ''[[Sex War]]''. (A conspiracy of women try and fail to create parthenogenesis by tricking a male scientist into doing it for them.)
* [[L. Neil Schulman]]. ''[[Rainbow Cadenza]]'' (Parthenogenesis is a reproductive option; one central character is parthenogenetic.)
* [[Joan Slonczewski]]'s ''[[A Door Into Ocean]]'' - an all-female aquatic race that reproduces by parthenogenesis.
* [[James Tiptree, Jr.]] "[[Houston, Houston, Do You Read?]]" - cloning; clone lines

==Sexual reproduction (women only); e.g., "ovafusion" ==
* [[Jane Fletcher]]. ''[[The World Celaeno Chose]]'' (Dimsdale: London, 1999) - telepathically-induced parthenogenesis (3rd-party telekinesis); others in the [[Celaeno series]].
* [[Katherine Forrest]], ''[[Daughters of a Coral Dawn]]'' and ''[[Daughters of an Amber Noon]]''; third novel in trilogy
* [[Sally Miller Gearhart]]'s ''[[The Wanderground]]''
* [[Charlotte Perkins Gilman]]. [[Herland]].
* [[Leona Gom]]'s ''[[The Y Chromosome]]''. The characters go out of their way to describe their reproductive method -- "ovafusion" -- as neither cloning nor parthenogenesis. Doctors are able to use this method to fuse two eggs together in a woman. Pregnancy and childbirth are normal and the child inherits both parents' genetic material.
* [[Nicola Griffith]]'s ''[[Ammonite]]''. Women may psychically fertilize one another; pregnancy and childbirth are normal, and the child inherits both parents' genetic material.
* [[Mary E. Bradley Lane]]. ''[[Mizora]]''
* [[Tanith Lee]]. "Love Alters" (in Jen Green & Sarah Lefanu, editors, ''[[Despatches from the Frontiers of the Female Mind]]'', [[The Women's Press]]: 1985) (An unhappy love triangle in the not-too-far future when homosexuality is straight, and heterosexuality an embarrassing queerness. Ovafusion and spermato-fusion produce children in an undescribed process.)
* [[Merril Mushroom]]. ''[[Daughters of Khaton]]''. Actually, it's not exactly clear that women are reproducing parthenogenetically, or if a plant is just making babies for them. The plant definitely seems to be doing it, but somehow by taking the genetics of the women ...
* [[Joanna Russ]]. ''[[The Female Man]]''
* [[Joanna Russ]]. "[[When It Changed]]" (initially published: 1972, in ''[[Again, Dangerous Visions]]'', edited by [[Harlan Ellison]])
* [[Rochelle Singer]]'s ''[[The Demeter Flower]]'' - fertilization with the aid of the Demeter flower
* [[Jean Stewart]]. [[Isis series]]. In the latter part of the 21st century, the women's colonies in the "Freeland" have developed a technology that allows ova-fusion between two women.
* [[Donna J. Young]] ''[[Retreat: As It Was!]]'' ([[Naiad Press]], 1979) (A long, long time ago, the human race is all women ... )

==Alternative Insemination==
Men may produce the sperm, but sex with them isn't necessary for conception.
* [[Leona Gom]]. ''[[The Y Chromosome]]''. The characters go out of their way to describe their reproductive method -- "ovafusion" -- as neither cloning nor parthenogenesis. Doctors are able to use this method to fuse two eggs together in a woman. Pregnancy and childbirth are normal and the child inherits both parents' genetic material. It's not exactly "insemination" either, since both parents are female; however, ovafusion is more-or-less AI with a sperm substitute.
* [[Lee Killough]]. ''[[A Voice Out of Ramah]]'' (1979). Women may request sperm from a man, and conceive either via sex or artificial insemination.)
* [[Anne McCaffrey]]. "[[Changeling]]" in ''Get Off the Unicorn'' (1977). Two people in a four-way marriage decide to have a child via artificial insemination.
* [[Rachel Pollack]]. ''[[Godmother Night]]''. A lesbian couple has recourse to a turkey baster ...
* [[Sheri Tepper]]. ''[[The Gate to Women's Country]]''. Women are artificially inseminated with selected sperm to achieve pregnancy. This is not, however, widely known, and women continue to have sex with men, believing that this is how they're impregnated.
* [[John Varley]]. ''[[The Gaean Trilogy]]'', volumes 2 & 3: ''[[Wizard]]'' and ''[[Demon]]''. A lesbian separatist society of "witches" uses artificial insemination, getting sperm from a sperm-bank on earth. Background to the novel, not essential to the plot, although it does come up again in volume 3.
* [[Kate Wilhelm]]. ''[[Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang]]'' (1976) Artificial insemination is used on the breeding women in the later clone society

==Anonymous or Controlled Sex==
Social arrangements in which men are present for coitus, delivering their sperm in the penis-in-vagina fashion, but aren't part of the pregnancy or raising the children.

* [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]], ''[[The Ruins of Isis]]'' (more a fertility rite than a wild party / festival, but the rite is part of a festival ...)
* [[Diana Rivers]]. The books in the [[Hadra Series]]. ''[[Daughters of the Great Star]]'' (1992); ''[[The Hadra]]'' (1995); ''[[Journey to Zelindar]]'' (1987).
* [[Pamela Sargent]], ''[[The Shore of Women]]''.
* [[Sheri Tepper]], ''[[The Gate to Women's Country]]''. The putative fathers don't raise girl-children at all, and raise boy-children only after the age of 5. Conception occurs at periodic festivals.

Female reproduction without men (list of works)

2011-02-18T22:58:13Z

Owlqueue: ovafusion

==Parthenogenesis and Cloning==
See [[Parthenogenesis]]
* [[David Brin]]. [[Glory Season]] (seasonal sexual reproduction as well as asexual reproduction by cloning)
* [[Suzy McKee Charnas]]' ''[[Motherlines]]'' and ''[[The Furies (novel)|The Furies]]''. Charnas' women introduced in Motherlines were genetically altered to reproduce parthenogenetically with starter sperm - which they get from intercourse with horses. The sperm contribute no genetic material but the semen is required to start a pregnancy. The offspring are clones of the mothers, called "motherlines."
* [[Sandi Hall]]. ''[[Wingwomen of Hera]]'' (Spinsters / [[Aunt Lute]]: 1987) - the women of Hera are a parthenogenetic race ...
* [[Jacqueline Lapidus]]. "Design for the City of Women," ''[[Heresies]]'', no. 3 (Fall 1977). [society of lesbians with parthenogenetic reproduction]
* [[Sam Merwin]]. ''[[Sex War]]''. (A conspiracy of women try and fail to create parthenogenesis by tricking a male scientist into doing it for them.)
* [[L. Neil Schulman]]. ''[[Rainbow Cadenza]]'' (Parthenogenesis is a reproductive option; one central character is parthenogenetic.)
* [[Joan Slonczewski]]'s ''[[A Door Into Ocean]]'' - an all-female aquatic race that reproduces by parthenogenesis.
* [[James Tiptree, Jr.]] "[[Houston, Houston, Do You Read?]]" - cloning; clone lines

==Sexual reproduction (women only) / "ovafusion" ==
* [[Jane Fletcher]]. ''[[The World Celaeno Chose]]'' (Dimsdale: London, 1999) - telepathically-induced parthenogenesis (3rd-party telekinesis); others in the [[Celaeno series]].
* [[Katherine Forrest]], ''[[Daughters of a Coral Dawn]]'' and ''[[Daughters of an Amber Noon]]''; third novel in trilogy
* [[Sally Miller Gearhart]]'s ''[[The Wanderground]]''
* [[Charlotte Perkins Gilman]]. [[Herland]].
* [[Leona Gom]]'s ''[[The Y Chromosome]]''. The characters go out of their way to describe their reproductive method -- "ovafusion" -- as neither cloning nor parthenogenesis. Doctors are able to use this method to fuse two eggs together in a woman. Pregnancy and childbirth are normal and the child inherits both parents' genetic material.
* [[Nicola Griffith]]'s ''[[Ammonite]]''. Women may psychically fertilize one another; pregnancy and childbirth are normal, and the child inherits both parents' genetic material.
* [[Mary E. Bradley Lane]]. ''[[Mizora]]''
* [[Tanith Lee]]. "Love Alters" (in Jen Green & Sarah Lefanu, editors, ''[[Despatches from the Frontiers of the Female Mind]]'', [[The Women's Press]]: 1985) (An unhappy love triangle in the not-too-far future when homosexuality is straight, and heterosexuality an embarrassing queerness. Ovafusion and spermato-fusion produce children in an undescribed process.)
* [[Merril Mushroom]]. ''[[Daughters of Khaton]]''. Actually, it's not exactly clear that women are reproducing parthenogenetically, or if a plant is just making babies for them. The plant definitely seems to be doing it, but somehow by taking the genetics of the women ...
* [[Joanna Russ]]. ''[[The Female Man]]''
* [[Joanna Russ]]. "[[When It Changed]]" (initially published: 1972, in ''[[Again, Dangerous Visions]]'', edited by [[Harlan Ellison]])
* [[Rochelle Singer]]'s ''[[The Demeter Flower]]'' - fertilization with the aid of the Demeter flower
* [[Jean Stewart]]. [[Isis series]]. In the latter part of the 21st century, the women's colonies in the "Freeland" have developed a technology that allows ova-fusion between two women.
* [[Donna J. Young]] ''[[Retreat: As It Was!]]'' ([[Naiad Press]], 1979) (A long, long time ago, the human race is all women ... )

==Alternative Insemination==
Men may produce the sperm, but sex with them isn't necessary for conception.
* [[Leona Gom]]. ''[[The Y Chromosome]]''. The characters go out of their way to describe their reproductive method -- "ovafusion" -- as neither cloning nor parthenogenesis. Doctors are able to use this method to fuse two eggs together in a woman. Pregnancy and childbirth are normal and the child inherits both parents' genetic material. It's not exactly "insemination" either, since both parents are female; however, ovafusion is more-or-less AI with a sperm substitute.
* [[Lee Killough]]. ''[[A Voice Out of Ramah]]'' (1979). Women may request sperm from a man, and conceive either via sex or artificial insemination.)
* [[Anne McCaffrey]]. "[[Changeling]]" in ''Get Off the Unicorn'' (1977). Two people in a four-way marriage decide to have a child via artificial insemination.
* [[Rachel Pollack]]. ''[[Godmother Night]]''. A lesbian couple has recourse to a turkey baster ...
* [[Sheri Tepper]]. ''[[The Gate to Women's Country]]''. Women are artificially inseminated with selected sperm to achieve pregnancy. This is not, however, widely known, and women continue to have sex with men, believing that this is how they're impregnated.
* [[John Varley]]. ''[[The Gaean Trilogy]]'', volumes 2 & 3: ''[[Wizard]]'' and ''[[Demon]]''. A lesbian separatist society of "witches" uses artificial insemination, getting sperm from a sperm-bank on earth. Background to the novel, not essential to the plot, although it does come up again in volume 3.
* [[Kate Wilhelm]]. ''[[Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang]]'' (1976) Artificial insemination is used on the breeding women in the later clone society

==Anonymous or Controlled Sex==
Social arrangements in which men are present for coitus, delivering their sperm in the penis-in-vagina fashion, but aren't part of the pregnancy or raising the children.

* [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]], ''[[The Ruins of Isis]]'' (more a fertility rite than a wild party / festival, but the rite is part of a festival ...)
* [[Diana Rivers]]. The books in the [[Hadra Series]]. ''[[Daughters of the Great Star]]'' (1992); ''[[The Hadra]]'' (1995); ''[[Journey to Zelindar]]'' (1987).
* [[Pamela Sargent]], ''[[The Shore of Women]]''.
* [[Sheri Tepper]], ''[[The Gate to Women's Country]]''. The putative fathers don't raise girl-children at all, and raise boy-children only after the age of 5. Conception occurs at periodic festivals.

This is a log (reverse chronological) of significant changes to the administration of the FSFwiki. If you want to comment or point out problems, just do so by adding a brief comment below the log entry; use an indented bullet by typing '''<nowiki>**</nowiki>''' before your comment). If you have more than a brief comment, or the change involves policy considerations that could be discussed, consider making a talk page for the change itself, by putting '''<nowiki>[[FSFwiki:square brackets around the text]]</nowiki>''' and then clicking on the text.

** discovered spam in wiki.feministsf.net/skins/MonoBook.php, by seeing a spam wrapper show up on [http://wiki.feministsf.net/index.php?title=Female_reproduction_without_men_(list_of_works)]. Triggered by one of the words here (which include "sperm"), or simply appearing periodically? Can't figure it out. Grr!
** Moved all MonoBook.php-related files to 20110218.spammed.* filenames (there were 4); uploaded clean MonoBook.php files (there were two) from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download mediawiki.org (ver. 1.16.2)]. will this fix the problem?
** still having the problem. it shows up on an edit-save or an edit-view of that page ([[Female_reproduction_without_men_(list_of_works)]]). Haven't yet seen it on any other page. ... Hitting reload from URL line brings up the original page. It's a wrapper attack.
** testing: triggered on [[Parthenogenesis in SF]] which also has word sperm in it.

Works by women eligible for 2010 SF Awards

2011-02-18T22:52:36Z

Owlqueue: edit

This is a list of works written by women and eligible for SF awards to be given out in 2010 based on works published from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009. Awards that follow this eligibility format include the Hugo, the Campbell, the World Fantasy Award, the Tiptree, and the Phillip K. Dick. (The Nebulas have a rolling period of eligibility for nomination based on the specific date a work was published.) We're listing these works as a form of [[award activism]]: to bring them greater attention, to share information about them for ourselves, and to help avoid problems like the [[2006 Hugo vacuum]]. See [[Eligibility and voting by award]] for a quick index of information about individual awards, and links to the individual award pages for more detail.

Please include here ''any eligible work'', along with the relevant information: title, publication date, and format. For novels, it's useful to search Amazon for the author's name: the list of works has publication date and format right there.

Note: Some awards are based on ''first publication'' and other awards are based on first publication in the US, England, etc. If a work was first published outside of the time period but would be eligible for some awards, please add it and add in parentheses any restrictions or explanations about eligibility.

Lilith

}}
In the Abrahamic religious/mythologic tradition, Lilith was the first lover of Adam, the first man. She was ejected from [[Eden]] for refusing to obey Adam, after which she was replaced with [[Eve]].

In Judaic, Christian, and Islamic traditions, post-Eden Lilith is said to have given birth to various spirits, evil or malicious — demons in the Christian tradition, [[djinn]] in the Arabic-Islamic tradition.

The idea of Lilith fed the medieval European folktales of the [[succubus]], a [[List of female demons|female demon]] who seduced men in their sleep, sapping them of their vital energies (nocturnal emissions). In this sense she may also be related to [[vampire]] myths.

In Jewish folklore and mythology, Lilith has been identified with the Sumerian and Babylonian wind demons and [[infanticide|child-slaying]] demons.

Lilith is associated with [[wolves]] and [[owls]].

==References & Portrayals==

===Lilith in SF Texts===
The myth has been evoked repeatedly in SF. Among the most notable examples are [[Octavia Butler]]'s [[Xenogenesis trilogy]], which was reissued in omnibus format as '''Lilith's Brood'''.

Among the oldest fantastic text references to Lilith are the standard Christian Bible in Isaiah 34:14 (circa 900 BCE):

The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

* 1901 American Standard Version:
And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
yea, the night-monster shall settle there,
and shall find her a place of rest.

* Raphael Patai's translation:
The wild-cat shall meet with the jackals
And the satyr shall cry to his fellow,
Yea, Lilith shall repose there
And find her a place of rest.

Other representations include:
* [[George MacDonald]], ''[[Lilith (1895 novel)|Lilith]]'' (1895)

===Lilith in Paintings===
Lilith has also been repeatedly portrayed in artistic images. Among the most famous are fantastic painter [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]]'s "Lady Lilith" (also titled "Body's Beauty") (1869). One version is available in the Delaware Art Museum.

In modern times, H.R. Giger's Lilith is well-known, and is representative of Giger's typical monstrous feminine.

In the Abrahamic religious/mythologic tradition, Lilith was the first lover of Adam, the first man. She was ejected from [[Eden]] for refusing to obey Adam, after which she was replaced with [[Eve]].

In Judaic, Christian, and Islamic traditions, post-Eden Lilith is said to have given birth to various spirits, evil or malicious -- demons in the Christian tradition, [[djinn]] in the Arabic-Islamic tradition.

The idea of Lilith fed the medieval European folktales of the [[succubus]], a female demon who seduced men in their sleep, sapping them of their vital energies (nocturnal emissions). In this sense she may also be related to [[vampire]] myths.

In Jewish folklore, Lilith has been identified with the Sumerian and Babylonian wind demons and child-slaying demons.

Lilith is associated with wolves and owls.

==References & Portrayals==

===Lilith in SF Texts===
The myth has been evoked repeatedly in SF. Among the most notable examples are [[Octavia Butler]]'s [[Xenogenesis trilogy]], which was reissued in omnibus format as '''Lilith's Brood'''.

Among the oldest fantastic text references to Lilith are the standard Christian Bible in Isaiah 34:14 (circa 900 BCE):

* KJV:
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

* 1901 American Standard Version:
And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
yea, the night-monster shall settle there,
and shall find her a place of rest.

* Raphael Patai's translation:
The wild-cat shall meet with the jackals
And the satyr shall cry to his fellow,
Yea, Lilith shall repose there
And find her a place of rest.

}}'''Medea's''' story was told by [[Euripides]] in the classic tragedy, ''[[Medea (drama)|Medea]]''.

Medea has come to stand for violence and anger in women; jealousy and possessiveness, the woman scorned; "unnatural" women without a maternal instinct; the activist or feminist woman who retaliates and doesn't take ill treatment sitting down. Along with [[Antigone]] and [[Electra]], she is one of the great memorable human female characters from Greek mythology.

==Names==
Medea's name is very similar to, and from the same root as, [[Medusa]]: the root meaning "protector".

==Representations==
The story has been [[retellings|retold]] numerous times. Retellings of particular feminist interest include (plays, novels, short stories):
* [[Christa Wolf]]'s ''Medea: A Novel'' (1996)
* [[Marina Carr]]'s ''By the Bog of Cats'' (1998) (play)
* [[Cherríe L. Moraga]]'s ''The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea'' (Greek Medea combined with [[La Llorona]] and Aztec myth of Coyolxauhqui)
* [[Kerry Greenwood]], ''Medea'' (1997; part of the "Delphic Women" series)
* Carol Leonard, "Medea" (short story in ''[[Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Stories]]'' (1995)
* Liz Lochhead, ''Medea'' (2001 play)
* Jackie Crossland, ''Collateral Damage: The Tragedy of Medea'' (1993; ISBN 0889740429; Press Gang Pub.)
* Linda Cargill, ''Jason and Medea'' (a YA feminist take)
* Tony Harrison, ''Medea: A Sex-War Opera''<ref>Note from a Valerie Solanas bibliography at http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Village/6982/solanas.html (last visited 2007/2/18):
: Tony Harrison, Medea: A Sex-War Opera, in Dramatic Verse, 1973-1985 (1985, Bloodaxe, Newastle upon Tyne). ''Girl Frenzy 4'' reported seeing a Medea: Sex-War that “intertwines excerpts from the SCUM Manifesto with the classical story of Medea”. The published text I found makes no mention of the manifesto at all.
</ref>

* [[Toni Morrison]]'s novel ''[[Beloved]]'' fictionalized the story of Margaret Garner, who in escaping slavery killed her children rather than see them returned to slavery; this novel (and the original story) is often compared to the Medea story.<ref>See, e.g., Steven Weisenburger, ''Modern Medea: A Family Story of Slavery and Child-Murder from the Old South'' (1999, ISBN 0-8090-6954-7).</ref>

Very different takes on the story include:

Works in other media include:
* [[Pier Paolo Pasolini]]'s 1970 film [[Medea (1970 film)|Medea]], starring Maria Callas as Medea in her only filmed role -- but without singing (loosely based on the Euripides version)
* Lars Von Trier's 1988 TV version, [[Medea (1987 film)|Medea]]

}}

'''Medusa''' is primarily known as a female character in Greek mythology. She had a nest of serpents for hair, and gazing on her directly could turn men into stone. She is imagined as both monstrous and beautiful, depending on the artist, time, and primary source material.

==Names==
Greek: Μέδουσα, Médousa, "guardian, protectress" The verb ''medein'' "to protect, rule over", has given the name of another dangerous protectress, [[Medea]].

==Her story==
In some versions of the myth, Medusa is one of three sisters, the Gorgons, all of whom had hair of snakes.

In Ovid's version, Medusa was originally a beautiful nymph. After she was [[rape]]d by Poseidon, she transformed her hair into serpents and made herself so terrible to behold that the mere sight of her face would turn a man to stone.

In all the myths, she was beheaded by Perseus, using a mirrored shield to aim his sword. From her body sprang the winged horse, Pegasus, and a giant Chrysaor. Her spilled blood is said to have formed the corals of the Red Sea, or various poisonous snakes. Perseus used Medusa's severed head to turn everyone to stone at his mother's wedding, freeing her from a forced marriage.

==Her story==
In some versions of the myth, Medusa is one of three sisters, the Gorgons, all of whom had hair of snakes.

In Ovid's version, Medusa was originally a beautiful nymph. After she was [[rape]]d by Poseidon, she transformed her hair into serpents and made herself so terrible to behold that the mere sight of her face would turn a man to stone.

In all the myths, she was beheaded by Perseus, using a mirrored shield to aim his sword. From her body sprang the winged horse, Pegasus, and a giant Chrysaor. Her spilled blood is said to have formed the corals of the Red Sea, or various poisonous snakes. Perseus used Medusa's severed head to turn everyone to stone at his mother's wedding, freeing her from a forced marriage.
