Written by pioneering storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton, whose 30-year career has focused on researching female protagonists, these tales are conjured in vivid and poetic language.

The book includes information about the pattern of myths and how they are represented globally and revels in the female, exploring desire, death, and the female body.

This is the most significant contemporary collection of goddess myths and encourages readers to value the female, preserve culture and re-ignite storytelling traditions.
