The Mythology of Women

This week we'll look at beauty and terror as seen in the mythology of women. Stories though out history, mostly told by men, of power and tragedy, love and treachery featuring the likes of Aphrodite, Xi Shi, The Gorgon Medusa and goddess Kali.

These tales are endlessly fascinating yet rarely illuminating of the lives of actual women.

So we'll hear from six Independent songs offering a modern twist to these myths. They come from Jen Gloeckner, First Rebirth, Zoe Leela, Swoon, A Beautiful Curse and Ruxpin. I'm Jim Nye.

We'll begin with Jen Gloeckner from her 'Mouth of Mars' CD. This is 'Pulse'
