Burton whose debut The Miniaturist (Pan Macmillan) was published in 2014 said that she wanted to reclaim Medusa's story and invite the reader into her mind? to explore gender politics following the sexual harassment claims faced by US film director Harvey Weinstein and many other powerful men.Burton said: So often [Medusas] robbed of agency turned into a monster and used as a stepping stone for heroes. The myth of Medusa is a tale of objectification and toxic masculinity and the meaning of consent. Given the continuing revelations about men like Weinstein and (US president Donald) Trump and others we have each encountered on our way through life Medusa's myth is ripe for the retelling.Jessies Medusa is gripping lyrical and empowering Holgate said. With this story and The Restless Girls she has created much-needed role models from maligned and overlooked female fictional characters. I envy the readers who grow up with these fabulous retellings where women and girls finally get to give us their perspective.(less)
