I am loving this refocusing of ancient stories to shine the light on the experience of women.

It does jump around a bit between past and present (which made it slightly confusing listening to it) but I think that would be inevitable with all the women discussed. I thoroughly enjoyed Penelope's sassy letters to her much-delayed husband. The Trojan women personified the brutality and horrors of war, especially for those left behind. I wish there had been more sections on Gaia, though to be far that could have been a separate book! The desperation of the Earth being drained and consumed is very prescient and her solution is especially chilling given that I'm reading this in the 3rd year of a world pandemic. (sigh)
