Woman storytelling : case studies of Philomene and Schecherezade

Blažič, Milena (author), Iseni, Arburim (author)

In the 1999 monograph The Classic Fairy Tales (edited by Maria Tatar), Karen E. Rowe in the chapter “To Spin a Yarn: The Female Voice in Folklore and Fairy Tales” lists two metaphors for women storytellers, namely, as the first model - women writers - she cites the antique example of Philomela (Ovid: Metamorphoses), who was victimized on the basis of a myth and was literally and metaphorically without language, therefore she metaphorically weaved her story into a tapestry and sent it to her sister to read. The motive of the female weaver is also found in the Bible.
