Goddeses and Monsters: Women, Myth, Power, and Popular Culture

“The essays in Goddesses and Monsters recognize popular culture as a primary repository of ancient mythic energies, images, narratives, personalities, icons, and archetypes. Together, they take on the patriarchal myth…[and] point to an alternative imagination of female power that still can be found behind the cult devotion given to Princess Diana...” Taken from the book description.
