Dive into this inspiring epic about female power in myths and legends, past to the present.

Amazons, witches, goddesses: in their own way, each of these female archetypes raise questions about contemporary issues of identity, gender, freedom, and womanhood. What does femininity mean today? Is it an illusion or a reality? A gender stereotype? Today's women don't always have answers to these questions, as the classic labels have faded away, and modern society is at once big on telling us what we can and can't do, but falls short when it comes to helping us find our way. This book offers sources of inspiration and well-worn paths to help us navigate the countless contradictory demands we face on a daily basis.
