To Macpherson, it’s no surprise Lilith is having a pop culture moment. The past two years have been relentless stream of stories of systemic oppression and harassment against women. “It has felt very empowering, but I’ve also felt helpless,. We’re making huge amounts of progress, but we backslide. Are we powerful or aren’t we?” Macpherson says.
Lilith represents a different model, another way forward. Her power is awesome, and must be wielded wisely by a human vessel. It follows that teenagers, who are literally the next generation, are Lilith’s target audience. They’re being introduced to her power just as they are coming into their own. “The misconceptions behind Lilith teach young women that they’re going to have to fight a hell of a lot harder to be heard, seen, and understood. It’s a powerful lesson and a challenge, I think now more than ever, adolescent girls are excited and willing to embrace — middle fingers to the air,” Rachel says.
