5.0 out of 5 stars The Female Hero in Folklore and Legend, January 24, 2007

By	cortezhill (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

From the beginning of time, man has been in awe of the mysteries of nature which seem to elevate woman to a position much nearer to the gods than any other we know. It is no small wonder, then, that so many legends center on sex.

In The Female Hero in Folklore and Legend distinguished folklorist Tristan Potter Coffin considers the most legendary women - Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Guinevere, Eleanor of Aquataine, Mata Hari, and Sarah Bernhardt among them - separating the fact from the fiction that surrounds these full-blooded figures who had their faults but nonetheless achieved far-reaching influence over their men and their worlds.
