Title: Bad Bitches of Antiquity: Badass Stories from Mythology's Fiercest Goddesses, Heroines, Warriors, and Titans
Author: Lorelei Wilder
Narrator: Ozzie Jacobs
Rating: 4/5 stars
Thank you to NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.
A round-up of some of the goddesses and heroines of the ancient world, offering a brief overview of who they were and what made them unforgettable after all this time.
Ozzie Jacobs, as the narrator, did a fantastic job in bringing these wonderful women to life with her enthusiastic and humorous tone.
What I liked: This was a fun summary of some of the great women from ancient myths and legends around the world. The jovial, concise stories worked well as an introduction for those just dipping their toes into ancient history.
What didn’t work for me: While goddesses and heroines from across the globe were highlighted, there did seem to be a greater focus on Europe. It would have been nice to see more representation from other regions, I believe there was only one story from Polynesia.
Final thoughts: A punchy, entertaining look at some amazing women of the ancient world.
Who would enjoy this: Fans of ancient history and women's studies told with a comical twist.
