The Odyssey prioritizes forming both cooperative and competitive equality between male and female characters and their distinctly masculine and feminine uses of language. The Arthurian Vulgate prioritizes forming a status hierarchy with masculinity higher than femininity and correspondences between the gender binary and other binaries, although it also transmits stories with embedded contradictory messages. Both texts also tell a false queen story, which comments on the possibility of a disconnect between a sign and its signified and what each values in a female character enough to make her internally consistent by splitting one complex character into two simple ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Salyga Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1775186423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781775186427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Salyga Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Alexandra Salyga Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442560381183,"sku":"9781775186427","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d4f8f18-b6fe-4027-9dba-b9c7188f3aeb.jpg?v=1777198211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inhuman-and-heroic-women-alexandra-salyga-reynolds-9781775186427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
