to the history of a different woman like Monica Sjoo, HP Blavatsky, Maria Sabina, and Enheduanna. While, some of this was over my head as I am not well versed in what was being presented in this book; I did still find bits of it interesting.

Yet, I will admit that the formatting and style of this book is what made it hard for me to truly appreciate all of the research the authors did with this book. That is because it felt and read more like an encyclopedia. Yet, this book did spark my intrigue and plan to check out these author's podcast.
