Description:... Unable to find a suitable textbook to use in her courses on women in mythology and religion, Agha-Jaffar (Kansas City Kansas Community College) compiled this reader on 18 incarnations of the Great Goddess honored before being dethroned by male deities. Chapters on each one contain a glossary of names and terms. A timeline charts sacred women/goddesses in various cultures from Isis in 3000 BCE to Native American's Corn Mother and White Buffalo Woman.
