Extremely accessible account of women in Greek mythology even for one as ignorant on the subject as I. I enjoyed googling the artwork Haynes references as I went along as well. Nice selection for Women's History month.

Gods damn! This book was infuriating.
The beginning was a bit jumbled but once it found its footing, we flew. We flew right in to the shit show that is mythology. I absolutely ate up this point of view. I was the weird mom who wanted to hug and comfort the poor girl from The Ring and I felt just as much love for Medusa and the gorgons. I will keep other feelings to myself about elements in the story that drive much of the plot so there aren’t misinterpretations. I will never be able to watch Clash of the Titans again.
Also, I’m so printing a resin tribute for the goddess who gave up and sacrificed so much.

If you love Greek mythology, sarcasm, and studying the classics from a feminist POV, this one is for you. I loved every second of this dive into the stories of the goddesses. Haynes doesn't shy away from painful stories, but she manages to bring humor to the book as well. I'm off to read the rest of her books now and I can't believe I missed her work so far!
