5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, well-researched material., March 29, 1998
By morgana@dreamscape.com (Upstate New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This great work by Norma Lorre Goodrich has been absolutely invaluable to my research into such areas as the Oracle at Delphi, the Cumaean Sibyl, the legendary Amazons, and many other topics for which information is hard (at least) to find. Ms. Goodrich uses resources to their full extent. At times it seems to be amazing that she has been able to combine so many ancient materials to come up with valid, comprehensible portraits of histories that would be forgotten without her scholarly persistence. This is a book that I recommend to all scholars. I've used it to great extent on my web site, Morgana's Observatory, THE only source of such material that I've been able to find. Ms. Goodrich brings ancient history (herstory) to life!

A very good book on the women that Christianity hid from history for years. Much good information, interesting pictures, and an overall excellent effort by Ms. Goodrich. Brava!

I wish this book were back in print. It's a brilliant history/herstory of priestesses and other women of religion from all walks of life, all countries and all faiths.
