A fascinating investigation of the feminine as myth or mythmaking process. By brilliantly exploring, recombining and embroidering different variants of the womanhood mythologem, Chiara Bottici's book succeeds in confronting traditional frames of interpretations in order to provide an imaginal philosophy and an imaginal feminism constructed as speculative spaces where something new can happen. * Adriana Cavarero, author of Relating Narratives: Storytelling and Selfhood *
