Legendary Ladies: 50 Goddesses to Empower and Inspire You

This book is an illustrated compendium of 50 women of myth and legend from cultures around the world. Each entry has a portrait, a hand-lettered name, and a hand-lettered one-liner in Ann Shen’s signature style. The entries feature a few paragraphs of pertinent information about the women and their powers, feats, and related mythologies, and include a call-to-action for the situations where the goddess’s strength can give you an extra boost. Organised by theme from Love to Power to Reinvention, this volume features goddesses from a variety of cultures and religions around the world, with a healthy mix of famous and obscure deities - from Aphrodite of Greece, Isis of Egypt, Mazu of China, Freya of the Norse tradition, Lakshmi of Hindu legends, and many more.
