Publisher's Summary

Meet mythology's 50 fiercest females in this modern retelling of the world's greatest legends.

From feminist fairies to blood-sucking temptresses, half-human harpies, and protective Vodou goddesses, these are women who go beyond long-haired, smiling stereotypes. Their stories are so powerful, so entrancing, that they have survived for millennia. Lovingly retold and updated, Kate Hodges places each heroine, rebel, and provocateur firmly at the center of their own narrative. Players include:

  • Bewitching, banished Circe, an introvert famed and feared for her transfigurative powers
  • The righteous Furies, defiantly unrepentant about their dedication to justice
  • Fun-loving Ame-no-Uzume who makes quarreling friends laugh and terrifies monsters by flashing at them
  • The fateful Morai sisters who spin a complex web of birth, life, and death

Find your tribe, fire your imagination, and be empowered by this essential anthology of notorious, demonized, and overlooked women.

Yes.

I loved this book. Short chapters on the stories of fierce women throughout different mythologies. Amazing for writers, feminists, and anyone interested in a different perspective on mythology.

An amazing book!

This book is a deep dive into the stories of female mythological beings. Kate Hodges did an amazing job researching & digging deeper into the original tales of women & goddesses from all over the world; she looks into the patriarchal & Christian influence that changed the stories into what they are now & retells & reclaims the power of the original story.

Kate's narration is fantastic as well, the speed & tone she reads matches the book perfectly (probably because she wrote it lol).

I definitely recommend you get this book!

Fascinating information

As a young girl I enjoyed reading mythology. As an adult, I've devoured Celtic and Viking fiction. I truly was fascinated by this author's depth of knowledge about the different world cultures of women's myths, stories, and origins .

not the best book to read by listening to it

there are too many women mentioned for it to make a good listening. It would be a better book to read.

Great book not quite right for audiobook

I really enjoyed this book and it made me want to buy the book - would make a great coffee table book. However although brilliantly read it doesn’t quite work as an audiobook as just comes across as reading a list.
