Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the similarities between the fairies of Southern Slavic tales and legends with the Hebrew Lilith. The subjects of analysis are those aspects of the patriarchal pedagogical background and narrative when these characters are portrayed as women. Special attention is focused on the different forms through which these females manifest their resistance to the patriarchy’s attempts to mold and subordinate them. This resistance to the patriarchy is an expression of women's millennial struggle for equality, emancipation and freedom.
