If all the mythological gods we know and love stepped aside, who would we see standing there? A host of goddesses, each more fascinating than the next!

Warriors, defenders, scholars, lovers: these goddesses were liberated, clever, mighty, and lived thrilling adventures. The male gods have nothing on their exploits and powers. In this anthology, readers will meet 25 goddesses of Greek, Egyptian, Celtic, Japanese, African, and even Hawaiian mythology. Remembering that every other deity is a goddess leads to a new perspective on mythologies from around the world. This is a book filled with inspiring stories, well-researched and wonderfully illustrated.
