I don't suggest using this book as a reference for a research paper. Unless, of course, your paper is on something like retellings of myths. The stories are actual myths from many cultures, but they are told with major attitude. I really enjoyed all the stories in the book, but my favorite was the retelling of Ishtar's descent into the underworld.
Only knocked off that half-a-star because the valley-speak *occasionally* gets annoying. Otherwise, a concise retelling of Goddesses who get what they want when they want it! Brava!

Informative but very irreverent, you should try it!

In ancient times, before Patrick, as the story goes, the first people to land on Irish soil were fifty women and their queen. From that day to this, women have figured large in Irish history and lore. And, in these pages, Trina Robbins has done her bit to make sure the bloom stays on the rose. Robbins, a writer whose works include the first show more all-women comic books and the first books about women cartoonists and superheroines, is the author of Tender Murderers and Eternally Bad: Goddesses with Attitude. She lives in San Francisco. show less
