Description
Wild, dark and divine, Goddess with a Thousand Faces is the first book of its kind to blend historical research with mythological retelling. This inspirational, enlightening and fiercely feminist exploration of ancient goddesses examines the modern concept of femininity. It takes readers on a historical journey that transcends geographical boundaries and breaks down cultural barriers, from Rangda in Bali and Freyja in Iceland to more recognisable figures such as the Greek goddess Artemis. A work of true inclusion, it invites readers to consider these dazzling goddesses as part of a cultural canon of human femininity, regardless of race, sex or gender. The book asks us to interrogate our past through a fresh lens, comprehend our relationship with the feminine within us, question the legacy of goddesses and consider whether we might see them in the faces of us all. It is suitable for fans of Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes, Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola and Storyland by Amy Jeffs.
