The Fallen Women of Mythology: Goddesses, Saints and Sinners

Historically, women have been omitted from the historical and cultural records. Many mythological accounts contain and describe “fallen” women, sometimes divine and sometimes human, but in between the lines lies another captivating aspect of their narrative.

This book explores the women portrayed as enigmatic Goddesses, devout saints, scandalous sinners, and infamous biblical figures, and their stories of injustice that were often scorned or, in many cases, disregarded altogether. These are some of the hidden stories of the ancient world, in an effort to retell cultural history.
