Goddesses and Monsters: Women, Myth, Power, and Popular Culture is fantastic! Every feminist could benefit from this book, every womon, anyone with an open, thinking mind, who's not afraid of the truth. This author knows her stuff. This book cuts through the lies of patriarchy, through its mindbindings, and propaganda. Besides the importance of the information within, this book is just a really good read, it's so interesting. The setup is great, you can pick any part and just go from there and enjoy, you don't absolutely have to go from the beginning to get good info from it. This book cuts away the brambles put there to block our way/path/vision to womonland, to the reality of what patriarchy has been up to... in the media; TV, movies, advertisements, news, etc... This is a patriarchy myth/lie buster. This womon has ovaries!

I wish I could do justice to this work Jane Caputi has done, it deserves better than I am able to write/convey. I am very grateful to her for her work/words of knowledge. Without these learned feminist wimmin like Jane Caputi, Mary Daly, Barbara G. Walker, Merlin Stone, Monica Sjoo, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Gerda Lerner, Shekhina Mountainwater and so many more, we would all have little chance of seeing through the lies and mindbindings of patriarchy back to our true and rightful womon heritage.

Goddesses and Monsters... is another tool we can use to pirate back our womon treasure that has been stolen from us by the patriarchy. Thank you Jane!
