A feminist retelling of the most formidable women in world mythology.

Move over, Zeus. The most powerful goddesses, mortals, and sorceresses of the ancient world have something to say. Bad Bitches of Antiquity is the modern compendium of badass mythological women who used their powers, prowess, mischief, and cleverness to make moves, exact revenge, bestow miracles, and cleverly control the comings and goings of mortals and gods alike.

This timely--and timeless--book takes a fresh look at the unforgettable women of mythology, answering questions such as:
    Was Demeter a forlorn mother who lost her child or the reason for the seasons? Is Ariadne merely the wife of Dionysus or a keeper of labyrinths worthy of a constellation? Was Ixchel a simple fertility goddess or a fierce protector of women?

From Medusa to the Morrígan, Atalanta to Athena, and Persephone to Pele, readers will discover the empowering and relatable truth behind the immortal curtain of their favorite tales. Each captivating story embraces the multitudes within these mythical women to present them with the grace, humor, and hint of irreverence they truly deserve.
