It was a very informative read. It is a bit on the academic side, so I think this would be great for students as well.

A really interesting and accessible exploration of the women from Greek Myths. Although I know a little bit about Greek myths, it's a bit of a blind spot for me, and I found it very easy to follow the stories being discussed. If you know a lot about these stories, you might not enjoy it as much, but it really worked for me.

Loved! It includes both summaries and analysis of the myths, so accessible to readers less familiar with Greek mythology (and provided new details I didn't know). Only wish it included more of the images described/referenced but understand the logistical and copyright difficulties that would entail

I really enjoyed this collection. What I knew about these women going in varied a lot, but all of the essays were thought-provoking and engaging. I also really liked Haynes's writing style, and the funny asides sprinkled in. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Greek mythology.

rbacon's review against another edition

funny informative reflective fast-paced

Loved this! It goes into so much depth on commonly overlooked women in Greek mythology and just adds so much context and background to their characters. Women have always been in the centre of stories, but we seem to have forgotten it and written them out.
