Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Disappointed by a lack of readily available folktales featuring women as heroines to read to her daughters, the well-traveled Ragan set about collecting tales from around the world for this anthology, which can be read and appreciated by youngsters and adults alike. More than 100 stories are included in the collection, which is arranged by broad geographic areas. Asia and the Pacific are widely represented, but there are only 14 stories from North and South America. Brief comments by the editor follow each story, and endnotes describe the sources. This convenient collection, more comprehensive than Maid of the North: Feminist Folk Tales from Around the World (1981), for example, is appropriate for school, public, and academic collections.APatricia A. Beaber, Trenton State Coll. Lib., Lawrenceville, NJ

Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Susan Griffin
I hope this book becomes a classic.... A richer, more thoughtful introduction would be welcome, but let the stories stand on their own. Trust that when the heroism of the reader is added to the transformative magic of the stories, this will suffice.
