""Megan's latest book centering heroines and goddesses of Ancient Greece might just be my favorite yet! I appreciate how she thoughtfully interlaced women into the core of Ancient Greek history and ensured their experiences were the center of each story. This resource is a perfect addition to a history teacher's toolbox and class library, and readers are sure to find some new fun facts from the diverse 'did you know' sections!"" -- Tiffany Marlow, EdD, Certified History Teacher and Curriculum Developer
