From the renaissance to the pre-raphaelites, to women's political mobilisation, fashion and tattoos- Medusa has always been relevant. The journey that the symbol of Medusa has gone on can teach us that feminist reimaginings of core social stories help us understand the roles and spaces women have been confined to throughout history, and how to deconstruct them. Let's walk through her history and learn how Medusa was reborn.
