But those familiar with mythology know better: that the connection between women and weasels is an ancient and favorable one, based in the Greek myth of a midwife who tricked the gods to ease Heracless birthand was turned into a weasel by Hera as punishment. Following this story as it is retold over centuries in literature and art, <em>Women and Weasels</em> takes us on a journey through mythology and ancient belief, revising our understanding of myth, heroism, and the status of women and animals in Western culture.</p><p>Maurizio Bettini recounts and analyzes a variety of key literary and visual moments that highlight the weasels many attributes. We learn of its legendary sexual and childbearing habits and symbolic association with witchcraft and midwifery, its role as a domestic pet favored by women, and its ability to slip in and out of tight spaces. The weasel, Bettini reveals, is present at many unexpected moments in human history, assisting women in labor and thwarting enemies who might plot their ruin.
