Synopsis
Here is a wise and highly readable journey into "the paradox of woman." The author, an anthropologist and linguist, has analyzed with fascinating insight the myths and stories exemplifying the many aspects of goddesses. Some are temptresses. Some are lovers. Some are innocents. Some are mothers. Some are priestesses. Some are oracles or wise women or inspirers. The author brilliantly shows how all these "faces of Eve" contribute to the way today's "liberated" woman looks at herself and her place in society. The book includes more than 240 illustrations and photographs, ranging from the Egyptian goddess Isis, to Gustav Klimt's unforgettable painting "Judith," to the adoration of the Virgin Mary. These images underscore the many dimensions of the goddess, not only in myth and folklore but in women's changing position in society itself. A brilliant text, brilliantly illustrated. Bibliography
