Abstract
CARBAJOSA PEREZ, Mónica. The female subversion of the mith of Eve in Magola: La verdadera historia de Eva. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2025, vol.33, n.1, e97349. Epub Jan 01, 2025. ISSN 1806-9584. https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2025v33n197349.
The biblical myth of Adam and Eve, secularly instrumentalized to subjugate women, has been the object of multiple rewritings and reinterpretations in contemporary literature written by women. This article analyzes the comic book Magola: La verdadera historia de Eva, by Colombian writer and graphic humorist Adriana Mosquera. With humor as a weapon and from the female voice and perspective, Mosquera questions the dominant ideological discourse, refutes and subverts the myth and turns it into a space of vindication and communication among women, rethinking issues and attitudes that have to do with the image and role of women in contemporary society.
