Overview
Goddesses and Heroines tells the tales of inspirational female characters from ancient myth and legend which all too often go untold. Performance storyteller Xanthe Gresham-Knight draws on original texts and lends renewed relevance to stories from cultures around the world.
We meet the youthful Aphrodite, the girl who created the world through imagination and sheer willpower; Hekate, the math whiz whose political drama on Mount Olympus saw her topple the powers that be; the heroic Mulan, whose bravery and athleticism helped her bypass gender barriers in ancient China; Osun, the Nigerian goddess whose foresight sparked a rebellion that freed slaves; and the not-so-fairy godmother Baba Yaga, whose bone-crunching approach to life will be an inspiration to any power-hungry tween.
