Women Who Fly

Goddesses, Witches, Mystics, and other Airborne Females

Buch

Flying women are a common motif in the world's myths and religions. Not necessarily winged, these women elicit reactions of fear, fascination, and ambivalence, and in so doing reveal much about the perceptions of female power and sexuality through the ages. The first book to systematically chronicle the figure of the flying woman in myth, literature, and art, Women Who Fly sheds new light on the ways in which women have both influenced and been understood bysociety and religious traditions around the world.
