Legendary Ladies: 50 Goddesses to Empower and Inspire You (Ann Shen Legendary Ladies Collection)

Ann Shen has created another beautiful piece of work with "Legendary Ladies"! Her attention to detail shows she has a passion for the subjects she chooses and she has made sure that each page keeps the reader engaged, entertained, and educated. I wish this book existed when I was younger, but I am also happy it exists now! It's perfect for readers of any age who wants to learn and find inspiration!

I bought this book to read with my 8 year old daughter but my 7 year old son ended up loving the stories even more. Our family is very open so I didn't have issues explaining some of the more adult concepts. However, if you have child who is sensitive or are sensitive to more 'adult topics' yourself that are presented here (as they are a part of the mythology used), I would avoid this book. It does have adult themes; if you've ever read mythology then you would know ahead of time. Great way to introduce younger ones to mythology through easy to digest, short stories with beautiful illustrations.

Ann always smashes it with her illustrations. This book is packed with heart and soul. It's perfect if you are looking for a coffee table book with summarized information on Goddesses from different areas of the world. It even gives you tips on channeling each Goddess, I think that is my favorite detail. Incredible follow up to Bad Girls. I've followed Ann for a couple of years, she makes more than just books. I have art prints and pins as well from her. Everything I've received is always shipped quickly and made from high quality materials. She's a great artist to look up to.

I originally saw this book at a renaissance festival but opted out of buying it because it was so expensive. Several months later i find it again on here and at a much much better price! When i ordered it i had it set for march (i picked the option where you dont care when it gets shipped) and ended up getting only a day or two later c: this book is great. The illustrations are really nice and the information is not only accurate(usually books like this arent in my experience), but very interesting too!

This book is really cool and provides a wealth of knowledge! I got it for my 4 year old nieces and its honestly probably a little over their heads but they love the pictures and I think they will grow to love the book overall. I just wish it provided the phonetics of the names because its really hard to know how to pronounce some of them.

I wrote a review about the cards already but you should buy this book if you by the oracle cards. But if you just want an introduction to different goddess to do further research this is a good book to start with. It will help you get to know goddess’s outside of the most popular ones and the drawings are beautiful.

This book is beautifully illustrated and wonderfully detailed. The descriptions are great. Diverse range of goddesses. My ONLY gripe is the inclusion (in a few entries) of some traumatic things(sexual assault in an instance or two). It is not graphic--and I get that the author is staying true to myth here. But I wish I'd had a warning. I was reading it through with my 7yo and luckily I am quick on my toes and caught the next sentence without saying what had happened to the Goddess of the page. I'd just suggest reading it first so you know what to look out for. I still love the book and I'd buy it again many times over. Truly inspirational.

This is a very fun book, with beautiful illustrations. The goddesses covered span the entire globe with many many cultures being included. Buuut, my only but is that the folklore is an honest retelling of the originals so there is definitely some content in here that is not for some of younger readers.
