Great Goddesses

Life Lessons From Myths and Monsters

By: Nikita Gill

Narrated by: Nikita Gill

Bestselling poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of poetry and prose retelling the legends of the Goddesses, both great and small, in their own words.

With lyrical prose and striking verse, beloved poet Nikita Gill (Fierce Fairytales, Wild Embers) uses the history of Ancient Greece and beyond to explore and share the stories of the mothers, warriors, creators, survivors, and destroyers who shook the world. In pieces that burn with empathy and admiration for these women, Gill unearths the power and glory of the very foundations of mythology and culture that have been too-often ignored or pushed aside.

Gill's poetry and stories weave old and forgotten tales of might and love into an empowering collection for the modern woman.

Critic reviews

A New York Times Book Review New & Noteworthy Pick

"Powerful...we all grew up to the sounds of sweet bedtime tales, captivated by the stories of Gods, monsters, princes and distressed damsels....Indeed, these heroines aren’t distressed, they’re depressed—and they need someone to give them a voice. That person is Gill. –Vanity Fair

"This empowering collection sheds light on women who are often misunderstood and is a piece of 'modern feminst magic.'" —Book Riot

Great Addition

This is a great addition to any Greek mythology collection. The stories are relevant to today which was a pleasant surprise.

In these times of accelerated atrocities on a scale never imaginable, these parables may help you to reconnect to your innate passion for justice; ability to cultivate restorative actions and a kindess for your community and sore heart. Reminders about the powers of love in times of chaos.

The narration is slow and rich like caramel. A pace that allows your back brain to chew and absorb fully while your front brain is entertained.
