conversations.value: Do you know a description for a book titled Encyclopedia of Goddesses and Heroines about Europe, Previously, Africa with the genre: Reference, Encyclopedias & Subject Guides?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Previously published as a two-volume set in 2009, this revised paperback edition contains more than 1,000 entries on goddesses and heroines from around the world. The material is divided into geographic sections: Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, Asia and Oceania, Europe, and The Americas. Europe is treated with the most granularity, with roughly 140 pages divided into eight subsections. The sections and subsections open with a few pages of introduction, followed by entries for each individual goddess or heroine, arranged alphabetically within each region. Entries range from a scant paragraph to nearly a page in length. Each entry has at least one source text, but a significant portion have several (more than 10 in some cases). These sources are listed in a bibliography, which lists for each region both primary sources (indicating in translation and oral when applicable) and other sources.Author the author was a pioneer in contemporary womens spirituality, and her perspective here has the flavor of radical feminism, where goddesses have been lost to the repressive patriarchy. When regarded as the work of a single author, this text shows an impressive depth of knowledge; however, in its use as an actual work of reference, the exclusion of non-English references and the exclusion of online material limit the scope of this encyclopedia. The Encyclopedia of Goddesses &amp; Heroines is a good introductory reference for students at the undergraduate level. --Emily Weak
