 traction-2020/\nLilith. Aphrodite. Medusa. Helen of Troy. Cleopatra.\nAnci
 ent cultures have bequeathed to us a legacy of female characters in art\, 
 history\, and literature who have been described as ‘femme fatales’. T
 he femme fatale is beautiful and dangerous in equal measure. Like the sire
 ns of Homer’s Odyssey\, she tempts the hero of the story whilst endanger
 ing his heroic quest – and even his life.\nIt is a story of femininity t
 hat has been created and perpetuated by male artists and writers for much 
 of history – from Homer to the Hollywood directors of the golden age of 
 cinema. For thousands of years the femme fatale has been a figure to be ad
 mired for her beauty\, but morally condemned for her vanity\, criminality\
 , or deviance.\nJohn Collier’s ‘Lilith’ depicts Lilith – the first
  wife of Adam in the Jewish tradition – as a classic femme fatale. Lilit
 h is shown nude\, as an object of desire\, but her figure is draped with a
  snake to signify temptation and sin.\n“When the first man\, Adam\, saw 
 that he was alone\, God made for him a woman like himself\, from the earth
 . God called her Lilith\, and brought her to Adam. The immediately began t
 o quarrel. Adam said: ‘You lie beneath me’. And Lilith said: ‘You li
 e beneath me! We are both equal\, for both of us are from the same earth
 ’. And they would not listen to one another. As soon as Lilith saw this\
 , she uttered the Divine name and flew up into the air and fled” (Genesi
 s Rabbah\, 300-500 CE)\nThis exhibition explores the long history of the f
 emme fatale and her transformation from a symbol of patriarchal power to t
 he hero of her own story.\nExhibition Partner\nEdge Hill University\nDr La
 ura Eastlake\, Senior Lecturer in English Literature\, Edge Hill Universit
 y\, has been awarded an Honorary Research Fellowship at The Atkinson to de
 velop research into ancient worlds and nineteenth-century art.
