In Greek Myths for Young Feminists, passionate classicist Honor Cargill-Martin redresses this imbalance by retelling eight classic Greek myths, this time from an all-female perspective.

 Written in first-person, we hear from the astute sorceress Medea and her   pivotal role in the quest for the Golden Fleece; discover the contributions   of Cretan princess Ariadne in the slaying of the Minotaur; witness the   strength and resilience of Atalanta, Circe, Helen of Troy, and many other   women who have been previously overshadowed by their male counterparts.

 With her meticulous research and insightful storytelling, readers will be   mesmerised as Honor resurrects these voices, breathes new life into   well-loved stories, and drags the Classics into the modern world.
