| Summary | There was a time when tales of Ireland's mythical goddesses -- their astonishing powers, bravery, and unbreakable bonds with nature -- were famous, in Ireland and beyond. But over time, these stories were lost, often replaced or rewritten to make room for male warriors and kings. Until now. Girls Who Slay Monsters brings these heroes of Irish mythology back to vibrant, magical life. From Eire, Ireland's fierce namesake, and Be Binn, a giant who overcame her bullies, to Badb, a gleefully gruesome death prophet, and Be Mannair, a gender-fluid spy who challenged an entire army. These are goddesses of many shapes, skin shades and sizes, from every corner of ancient Ireland, whose daring still inspires today. |
