I really enjoyed this! I do exercise a bit of caution when delving into reads such as this one, in case the feminist takes were of the white feminist brand, but that wasn't the case here.
Natalie Haynes brilliantly dissects the myths in which these women were apart of and offers new perspectives of their characters. I especially enjoyed the chapters on Helen and Penelope.
However, I did feel as if she would digress in a few places and leave me forgetting what the main point was or how a certain tale related to the women she was talking about.
This was a good book to start of my 2023 reading year!
