Book Synopsis
Goddesses often are labelled as one-dimensional forces of nature or fertility. In examining a number of goddesses whose primary role is sovereignty, this volume reveals the rich diversity of goddess traditions. Drawn from a variety of cultural and historical settings, the goddesses described here include Inanna of ancient Sumer; Oshun of Nigeria; and Cihuacoatl of pre-historical America.

Trade Review
An interesting survey of regiocultural understandings of goddesses' relationship to human authority. * The Journal of the American Academy of Religion *
