Laughing with Medusa explores the reception of classical myth within feminist writing across a wide range of subject areas, including poetry, philosophy, science, politics, critical theory, and psychoanalysis. It makes the claim that myth has been central to the formulation and development of feminist thought and politics, and examines the conceptual opposition between mythic and rational thought, interrogating its implications for feminism.
