  • More about The Shrinking Goddess: Power, Myth and the Female Body

The Shrinking Goddess explores the female body's representation throughout history, from ancient myths to modern interpretations, reclaiming it as a source of power.

Format: Hardback
Length: 336 pages
Publication date: 30 July 2024
Publisher: Saqi Books

Wild and strange stories have circulated about the female body since antiquity, ranging from the absurd to the empowering. The first female figure, Mother Earth, was recreated as a crooked rib, and myths about the female form have been represented since records began. Mineke Schipper examines how women's bodies have been represented since 40,000 BCE and around the world, drawing together the vast reservoir of myths, proverbs, art, science, and scripture that shape how women are seen in the present day. This book reclaims the female body as a source of power and is recommended for readers of Angela Davis, Mary Beard, Audre Lorde, Betty Friedan, and Germaine Greer.
