This article reviews some of the theoretical and methodological premises of gender studies, recapitulates the major discussions and polemics that raged in the American gender discourse, and outlines some of the new perspectives and research trends in the field. It also offers a reappraisal of the reception of gender studies in Poland and tries to identify some of the areas that have remained unexplored.

The article arises from the thesis by the theoretician Hans Blumberg about the 'work of the myth' as the life of mythological narratives constantly evolving in art, which forms the basis of the analysis of the reception of the Medea myth by German women authors after the World War II (A. Seghers, M. L. Kaschnitz, U. Haas, D. Loher, M. H. Novak, Ch. Wolf). The authoress shows the ways in which the Medea myth was brought up-to-date in concrete historical contexts. At the same time, it focuses on the gendering of each literary engagement with the myth and reveals how feminist criticism contributed to the understanding of individual sequences of the ancient narrative. The key issue is the question whether Medea can be accepted as a mythical figure also outside the Euripidean interpretation (Medea as the murderer of her own children).

The article aims to trace the reception of Antigone on the basis of femi- nist and gender criticism. It turns out that the same categories noticed by individual researchers are assessed and valorized differently, accordingly to the feminist trend they identify with. The author decides, therefore, to reverse the optics and evaluate the discourse through the prism of the method of analysis and interpretation of the mythological heroine.
