The Lady of Ten Thousand Names : Goddess Stories from Many Cultures. This item is unavailable.The Lady of Ten Thousand Names : Goddess Stories from Many Cultures

Drawing from traditional tales and sacred texts worldwide, Burleigh Muten presents eight goddesses who each face their own set of unique challenges. Whether it be the mighty Isis, who struggles to save her beloved brother amidst the power politics of ancient Egypt, or White Buffalo Woman, who instructs the Sioux tribe how to worship Mother Earth, all of the women brim with determination as they strive to assert their own independence and authority.

Burleigh Muten started to share her exploration of the divine role of women through the ages when she founded Hands of the Goddess Press, compiling and publishing her own calendars. This is her second title for Barefoot Books, joining the well-received Grandmothers' Stories (1999). Burleigh makes her home in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA. Helen Cann is a graduate from the School of Art, Wales. She is a full-time illustrator and her rich artwork has been exhibited in several European counties and the United States. Her watercolour, collage and graphite images adorn many Barefoot Books, among them: The Barefoot Book of Mother and Daughter Tales (1996), The Barefoot Book of Father and Daughter Tales (1997), The Barefoot Book of Mother and Son Tales (1998) and The Barefoot Book of Father and Son Tales (1998).
