Informazioni su questo ebook
Discover twenty-two “bad-girl” goddesses from cultures around the world in this other-worldly guide by the author of Tender Murderers and Wild Irish Roses.
Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological “bad girl” goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, award-winning feminist cartoonist, takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses. The earliest proponents of sexual equality, they slip mickeys into drinks, have catfights with their sisters, get even when they get dumped, fight, kill, and generally have a great time. You’ll read about Osmotar, the Finnish witch who created beer, Freya—the original Snow White—who slept with dwarfs to get a famous diamond necklace, Jezebel, Kali, and others. Thoroughly delightful, Eternally Bad shows us how women with the ultimate attitude can have fun. Plus, there’s even a test to help you discover your own inner bitch goddess!

Informazioni sull'autore
Trina Robbins has been called Bad by the best of them. More polite people simply refer to her as "outspoken." The author of several books, including "From Girls to Grrlz," "Tomorrow's Heirlooms," and "The Great Women Superheroes," she has been a pagan since 1977. She admittedly can't live without cats, and she considers herself the oldest grrrl in San Francisco.
