Submission and subversion of the female gender in the film Grease

Marinalva Parana de Araujo Gama

In this book, the author recalls experiences from her adolescence, a time when she was religious and when many women construct their identities and worldviews. Taking Grease to the stage made her reflect on the structures that perpetuate the female figures in the narrative and how (un)constructing them is necessary in order not to propagate a sexist discourse. Lilith, the transgressor, takes on the role of empowerment, while Eve and Mary take on the role of submission. Within this, feminism, mythology and identity are discussed, seeking to understand how these structures work today.
