Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets

I remember borrowing this from my local library in my early twenties and thinking to myself that I had to make sure that I get my own copy one day, and now I have. This book is full of so much information and little pieces of history. It' so interesting and an alternative needed and additional perspective on parts of history or just general information relating to women. Just wish there had been information on African myths and such too.

Like the thickness of the book and is covered well

Wonderful book a result of quarter of centurys research

I've been reading this book bit by bit, and it is fascinating. Of course, it's also left me far more jaded, but it really is interesting to find out the origins of so many modern practices.Everyone needs to read this

Expansive range of information in this book, I want to leave it somewhere for other women to enjoy. It shows just how loved we truly were. Made me want to do more research, as some info was quite amazing, for example info on menstrual blood, witches, whores, Lilith. Plus, it's so big and hefty you can swing it your handbag and use it as self defence.

Fun book, good for the family library

Not a 'reading' book, but fascinating and a valuable research book. I love this and have had to buy several copies for some of my best women friends who kept borrowing mine.

This is a well written guide and has been useful to me. Not a lot on each subject, but enough to introduce each subject.

As soon as I started reading this I couldn't believe I'd never encountered such a wonderful resource before. Barbara Walker doesn't shy away from the truth of our history. If anyone is curious about what a pre-christian, pre-patriarchy world was like they should check out this incredible encyclopedia. She untangles the history of the downfall of women and the Goddess. A dark history filled with genocide, oppression and survival. Things weren't always the way they are. This encyclopedia carries a message of hope to anyone who longs for the world to be different.

Barbara Walker is a legend of these times. . . Just like Robert Svoboda . . . Anything she writes is an academic treat. . . Makes us wish Dan Brown was put away - in a place where the sun don't shine ! ! !

Excellent reference book!

As someone well into their senior years but had had a passion for reading and learning for more than 7 decades I am always seeking different and unusual books to read. This is why while browsing on Amazon when I saw this giant size 1122-page volume (The Woman’s Encyclopedia of myths and secrets) I decided to purchase it. This is one of the most interesting books I have ever read on the hundreds of various Goddesses and Gods of ancient and contemporary mythology I have ever seen in one volume. The topics are wide and varied covering the subjects from A to Z. This short review cannot do justice to this amazing book, but if you are fascinated by Women's myths and secrets you may want to check out this giant size very informative book. Rating: 5 Stars.

変な本だけど面白いので読んでしまう。辞典のようには使用してません。
