The sister of King Arthur goes by many names: sorceress, kingmaker, death-wielder, mother, lover, goddess. The Myth of Morgan la Fey reveals her true identity through a comprehensive investigation of the famed enchantress' evolution - or devolution - over the past millennium and its implications for gender relations today.

Kristina Pérez is Visiting Assistant Professor, Journalism and Media Studies Centre at the University of Hong Kong.
