Badass Bitches
I thought of Vaughn in all her evil glory when I came across this Jezebel article 'Chambers Of Blood And Velvet: Subverting The Classics For Feminist Ends'.
Stories that radically revise stereotypes of "bad women" in the Bible, in myth and in fairy-tales. Stories that aren't afraid to be literary, transgressive, dark, and sexy. Think: Lilith, Medea, the Wicked Stepmother, the Evil Witch, Pandora, Eve, crones, sibyls, fates, muses. Contemporary adaptations are fine... The spine: We begin to see these women through another lens.
