It is no wonder that so many women identified with our monsters: at one point or another, they have embodied almost every aspect of womanhood.
Interesting book. It follows a tradition of female demons, from child-killing demons to seductresses, and eventually to feminist symbols. It was a pleasant and interesting read. Sometimes the jumps from one type of monster to the next (snake to mermaid?) were a bit unclear to me, but oh well.
