dougawells 's review for:
Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths
by Helen Morales
Wow - this book knocked me on my ass. Fierce, unflinching, and feminist - such a refreshing, and at times hard, look at mythology. From the book - "One of the conclusions of this book is that ancient myths (stories) have subversive power precisely because they can be told - and read - in different ways...The problem is that misogynist myths are more strongly culturally entrenched in our societies than myths that subvert them." At times more academically written than I'm accustomed to, at all times brilliant and with much for me to learn.
