Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Goddesses just want to have fun!
Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological "bad girl" goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, the award-winning feminist cartoonist, takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses. 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. Review:"[W]omen looking to get in touch with their inner bitch will revel in Eternally Bad....Looking at long-ago cultures from Ireland and Greece to Japan, Robbins profiles 24 kick-ass babes who are 'not your mother's New Age goddess!'" Publishers Weekly Review:"Eternally Bad is very good as well as an awful lot of fun....Robbins' book does an admirable job of walking elegantly between entertainment and education. You will learn reading Eternally Bad and you will have fun and, if your heart is in the right place and your head in the correct space, you will be empowered, as well." Sienna Powers, January Magazine Review:"Beneath the irreverent tone, Trina Robbins reveals a genuine love and respect for the kick-ass Goddesses and mythologies she writes about and the tales that she retells. A great introduction to a wonderful subject." Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods, Stardust, Sandman, and Neverwhere Review:"If you are tired of reading about gods and goddesses as either pathetic primitive anthropomorphic personifications or gallant, noble anthropomorphic personifications, then you'll find Eternally Bad an uproarious change of pace." Heartless-Bitches.com Review:"A wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological 'bad girl' goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins...takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses." Mysterious Galaxy Review:"Eternally Bad introduces a whole host of divine ladies who will make you laugh, cry, and yelp, 'She did WHAT?' Take my word for it, this is not the dusty mythology you remember from Sunday school classes....[The] writing is juicy and delicious, with an upbeat contemporary tone....Most highly recommended." S. Ardrian, FearlessBooks.com Review:"[A] playful, juicy little book....The author's witty writing style underscores the book's main point: that Goddess spirituality is as well rounded as, well, the human condition. This isn't a work of scholarship and it shouldn't be your first book on Goddesses, but it sure is a naughty pleasure." The Well Read Witch, WellReadWitch.com Synopsis:Goddesses with Attitude. Synopsis:In this irreverent tribute to mythological "bad girls" from around the world, Robbins tells 20 enjoyable tales of goddesses who sleep with dwarves, slip drugs into drinks, get even, and generally raise hell. 40 illustrations.
