MacLaughlin writes these from the pov of the female characters based on Ovid's Metamorphosis and gives them voices where some women had none, expands on the the few that did, and fleshes out the characterizations of them all.
Each story is vibrant in it's own way, each with a different tone and voice that gives each women a distinct voice and way of telling her story. So much emotion comes through and in such a range too!

A gift best given to a misogynist perhaps. Didn’t hold much enlightenment for me personally as a feminist.

I respect the attempt of this book to bring untold stories to the forefront but I doubt readers will need to listen to 32 ways a woman can be molested in order to understand that female characters and people in Greek mythology were treated poorly. A gift best given to a misogynist perhaps. Didn’t hold much enlightenment for me personally as a feminist.gingerale06's review
