I have a physical copy of this book but I'm so glad I listened to the audiobook. It was like listening to an extended episode of 'stand up for the classics' and I am a huge fan of the podcast. Haynes' writing is informative without be ng pretentious, is sometimes funny but always engaging and relevant. She is quickly becoming a "will always read" author for me.

Overall I really liked this!!!!! I learned so much. Euripidies is my main bitch. There were sometimes I thought Haynes went on a tangent for a bit too long, especially in Phaedra’s chapter. I don’t feel like I learned as much about her as the others. But for the most part I found the tangents and anecdotes informative and interesting!!

Such an amazing book to delve into a few the women of Greek myths. A great springboard to look into other similar texts, too.

Haynes explores various themes and arguments for each woman, linking a few of them together (it's Greek myth, everyone's related).

Not a full 5 stars for me as sometimes I felt I as the reader needed to know the myths better to understand some of the points Haynes made.
