From Bird-Woman To Mermaid: The Shifting Image Of The Medieval Siren, Claire Cannell
From Bird-Woman To Mermaid: The Shifting Image Of The Medieval Siren, Claire Cannell
Student Research Symposium
During the Middle Ages, the siren transforms from its classical status as grotesque bird-woman into an alluring mermaid. A female monster, the siren represents what is considered monstrous in women.

Presentation examines Rosemarie Beck's development, as a woman and artist as part of the larger social/body politic of the time.
