Want to break free from what's holding you back? Channel the Norse warrior goddess Freyja.

Tired of being nice? Meet the Irish goddess The Morrigan, a regal renegade who doesn't care what anyone thinks of her.

Why settle for mere mortal excellence when you could be living like a goddess?

E. Foley and B. Coates show how the tales of these deities have been depicted by men over the centuries, revealing the ancient roots of toxic female stereotypes (the damsel in distress, the selfless mother, the tempting harlot). Now it's time to reclaim their female powers for a new generation.

In this irreverent guide, these fierce and fantastic deities will help you to stop apologising, keep your cool, embrace your body, and get what you are owed. Divinely illustrated by Georgia Perry, You Goddess! will help you conquer today's world.
