This book tells a lot of fascinating stories and facts about women in mythology that I have or haven't heard before. Excellent delivery by the authors.

Been waiting a long time

I do wish the stories could've gone more in depth, especially where scholars debate authenticity or contexts for varying versions of stories, but as a taste test of many stories, this serves as a good introduction to a broad array of women in myth and history.

My biggest complaint is the audio. A lot of the narration was so quiet, I couldn't hear at all unless I was in a quiet room with the volume at full. Then, another voice would come on and I'd have to hurriedly turn down the volume.

Cool stories, bad audio
