This volume is an up-to-date, highly readable study of the female aspect of religion both in past and present mythologies. It explores the function and nature of goddesses and their cults in many cultures, including Celtic, Roman, Norse, Caucasian and Japanese traditions. The contributors demonstrate how in many myths the female deity is seen as more ambivalent than her male counterpart, and not relegated to primarily "feminine" roles.
