Traditional golem narratives re-interpret the theological and mystical narratives of creation---that have always left a space for the feminine presence---as patriarchal stories about masculine power in which exclusively male creators craft and ultimately destroy male golems. However, at the end of the twentieth century, Cynthia Ozick and Marge Piercy reclaimed these mystical tales and their feminine potential by bestowing the power to create and destroy on women. Rather than continue weaving the centuries-old tale of a man---historically Rabbi Judah Loew---who creates a male golem---usually a mute, clay being---Ozick, in The Puttermesser Papers, crafts the story of Ruth Puttermesser and her overtly, unapologetically female golem, Xanthippe. Similarly, in the novel He, She and It, Marge Piercy presents the cyborg-golem---Yod---whose collaborative creation includes the presence of Malkah, a Jewish woman. Linking the mystical golem tale to traditional creation stories and a post-Holocaust and even posthuman world, these writers present women who shape golems (and golem stories) and thereby cement their roles in Jewish history and futurity. Ultimately, both authors allow readers to inherit worlds where ontological hierarchies evaporate, and we are left with characters---particularly golems---that map ways of eliding boundaries of time, gender, and being.
