YOU GODDESS!

A fantastic tour of 25 ancient deities, the book reclaims these feminist icons for a new generation, divinely illustrated by Georgia Perry. We meet Athena the strong woman of Classical Greece, rule-breaking Freyja from Scandinavia, laugh at yourself with Uzume of Japan, get what you're owed with Oshun from Yoruba, embrace ambition, be a bitch, learn the power of female solidarity, make your own luck, gain respect, be unapologetic, understand love, find balance, keep it kind, play the long game, prioritise self care, say no, build resilience, enjoy single life, take care of your mental health, learn to be adaptable, beat fear, own your sensuality and discover the importance of old ladies. From the myths of the Mayan Mexico, Russia, China, India, Scotland, Australia, Bali, Tibet and Mesopotamia, the goddesses' stories in this book reflect the expectations that both hamper women and provide them with timeless models of how to live their best lives. Why settle for being a mere mortal when you could live like a goddess? Faber paperback, 247pp, illus.
