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 . . . Beautifully
written by cultural historian and broadcaster, Dr Janina Ramirez,
and stunningly illustrated by Sarah Walsh, this amazing book
contains goddesses, guides, spirits, saints, witches, demons and
many more 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

and empower readers everywhere. Divided into thematic chapters, but
