Description

Wild, dark and divine... The first of its kind, Goddess with a Thousand Faces blends historical research with mythological retelling, taking an inspirational, enlightening and fiercely feminist deep dive into ancient goddesses to explore the modern concept of femininity. This is a historical journey like no other - unlike every other book on the subject, Goddess with a Thousand Faces transcends geographical boundaries and breaks down cultural barriers. From Rangda in Bali, to Freyja in Iceland and more recognisable faces such as the Greek goddess Artemis, it is a work of true inclusion - readers are invited to consider these dazzling goddesses as part of a cultural cannon of human femininity; regardless of race, sex, or gender. Goddess with a Thousand Faces asks us to interrogate our past through a fresh new lens. We're challenged to comprehend our relationship with the feminine within us, question the legacy of goddesses, and whether we might see them in the faces of us all. Embrace your inner goddess... Perfect for fans of Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes, Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola and Storyland by Amy Jeffs.

Author Biography:

Jasmine is a straight-talking ancient world expert. Her Instagram @Legitclassicist has over 10k followers, and she appeared in TV shows for Channel 4, Channel 5, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and History Hit. She aims to engage the public in relevant and innovative ways to understand the ancient past. She focuses her methods on challenging traditional approaches and uses the modern world as a springboard into the ancient one. Growing up in a mixed-race family, in a council estate in the East End of London, Jasmine knows personally how far removed the ancient world can feel from our hectic modern one. Only gaining access to the study of the ancient world at university, she has directed much of her passion into widening participation in the subject for all. Having spent over twenty years in the field of classical education, she has a wealth of experience in bringing the study of the ancient world to life. Her goal is to show people how to relate personally to their shared ancestry.
