Abstract
SUMMARY The purpose of this paper is to analyze a series of feminist archetypes and expand this analysis to concentrate on lesbian interpretations of these archetypes. The related notions, spiritualities and myths are defined in order to contextualize feminist archtypes. It is contended that there is a difference between traditional, female archetypes and feminist ones. Four feminist archetypes which are relevant for lesbians are examined: Salamander, Dryad, Soothsayer and Virgin. All of these archetypes were originally envisaged by Mary Daly in her book Wickedary (with Jane Caputi).
