Introducing Goddess: 50 Goddesses, Spirits, Saints and Other Female Figures Who Have Shaped Belief

This February we’re absolutely delighted to be publishing Goddess: 50 Goddesses, Spirits, Saints and Other Female Figures Who Have Shaped Belief – an empowering book that explores 50 important goddesses and their stories from around the world.

And today we are so excited to be sharing an early preview of this fantastic non-fiction book – you can take a look inside below!

Tales of powerful female figures have been told since the beginning of time and this collection brings together 50 stories from around the world. There are loving creators, wise leaders, fearsome warriors, gentle healers and mystical protectors, and they can each inspire you to find strength within yourself . . .

Divided into thematic chapters, but connected by the power of the female, there are important stories of creation and love, action-packed stories of war and death, and heroic stories of great adventure and strength. Each gorgeously illustrated spread is a celebration of girl power in its many forms.

Featuring figures such as, Juno, Venus, Chalchiutitcue, Brigid, Athena,  Nut, Baba Yaga, Asase Yaa, Gaia, Eve, Lilith, Sekhmet and so many more!

Beautifully written by cultural historian and broadcaster, Dr Janina Ramirez, and stunningly illustrated by Sarah Walsh, this amazing book contains a wonderful variety of spiritual female figures that have played an important role in shaping belief today. Based on original sources and with photographs from the British Museum collection, this incredible introduction to goddesses throughout history will entertain, engage and empower readers everywhere.
