Description
Cassandra of Troy acts as a symbol of the repressed women in Western society, yet she has also become the figure that reawakens the female literary voice in modern times. Christa Wolf's Cassandra: A Novel and Four Essays is the prime example of this literary movement: the female point of view emerges from a patriarchal myth that originally silenced her. Other examples of the re-emerging voice are Christa Wolf's retelling of Medea, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Kassandra in The Firebrand, and Octavia Butler's prophetic Lauren Oya Olamina (a reflection of an African female goddess's power) in the Parable of the Sower series.
