This review is from: Goddesses (Tiny Folio) (Hardcover)

A very nice selection of art thorough out the world depicting goddesses in their differing aspects. The book is informative especially for the novice interested in comparative mythologies. The text is slightly outdated, with the author not just trying to be political correct, but lets some fawning feminism to leak through. Lanier Graham should stayed with the historical-anthropological discussion of the art, instead of meandering into a social didactic.

Great collection of Goddess images and artwork. Short on words; long on beautiful photographs. The only drawback is the size. The book is so well done that I wish it was larger!
