Reviews

"an extremely useful primer of women in myths and legends....Frankel has done wonderful work in retrieving and retelling these stories"--Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction; "Frankel's book is so enthusiastically written, so thoroughly researched, and so articulately argued...leaves the reader anticipating each exemplary tale, and longing for further discussion"--Mythprint; "I recommend From Girl to Goddess highly. Frankel's truly global choice of tales and her analysis of them is outstanding. It is a book to turn to for deepening one's understanding of myths and stories about women and their underlying structures"--Mythlore; "explores the heroine's journey and how it differs from the hero's by examining women's mythology from all over the world"--Livejournal.com; "gathers stories from around the world representing the heroine's journey"--Reference & Research Book News; "ever since...my first novel, I have wanted this book"--Romance Writers of America; "Frankel draws a connection between the heroines in contemporary fantasy fiction for children and young adults to the heroines from world mythology"--Children's Literature Association Quarterly.
