Author: Valerie Frankel

📘 From girl to goddess by Valerie Frankel

From the hills of Scotland to the savannas of Africa, "From Girl to Goddess" examines the universal heroine’s journey through a tapestry of world myth. Each chapter presents a woman who confronts peril, battles for safety and identity, and upends traditional images of the passive, gentle heroine. The collection traces the heroine’s confrontation with her own dark side and the process of reintegration that leads to the bestowment of wisdom. By juxtaposing diverse cultural narratives, the book illuminates how women’s heroics are both universal and culturally specific, while also offering a fresh lens on women in folklore and popular culture.
