This book to me is a collection of ten essays on women in Greek myths. This would be so useful for A level classics students or university students as Haynes pulls on loads of different sources and version of the myths she refers to. Not the easiest of reads as you need to concentrate to get the most out of each essay. But some lovely lighthearted comedic moments woven in throughout!

a great feminist look at several important and colourful women throughout the Greek myths. This is such a fascinating explanation and retelling and with the mix of humor that Natalie Haynes adds this is a wonderful story! The time I spent with my nose in these pages passed so fast! It was nice and refreshing to see history with women in a different light. It sure added new meaning to a lot of the myths we all know so well!
