Natalie Haynes is back with this witty and powerful book about women from Greek mythology. We meet Pandora, Jocasta, Helen, Medusa and many more women who have not been given due recognition by many other authors. Haynes provides us with these incredible women in the myths that we all know but rearranged, enhanced, and beautifully powerful,

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was truly amazing to read such a different take on the old myths, which I've been reading since I was young.

Thank you to netgalley and publisher for providing an e-copy for me to read and leave my honest opinions. I am truly grateful for the experience that is Pandora's Jar

I love the way Haynes moves back and forth between storytelling and analysis. And her little asides are SO FUNNY

Goede, evenwichtige analyse over hoe vrouwen uit de Griekse mythologie werden afgeschilderd in de oudheid vs nu.
